BAYSIDE! THE MUSICAL! to Open Off-Broadway at Theatre 80, 9/12

Bayside! The Musical!, the unauthorized musical parody of TV's "Saved By The Bell", will begin an Off-Broadway run at Theatre 80 on September 12, 2013.

From the twisted minds that brought you Showgirls! The Musical, Bayside! The Musical! tackles all the tough questions: Will Zack and Kelly break up? Will Slater quit wrestling forever? Who will develop an incurable caffeine addiction? Can the gang save The Max? Will Screech die? Bayside! The Musical! has it all: large cell phones, wrestling, feminism, ducks covered in oil, teenage pregnancy, and proms.

Bayside! The Musical! features book, music, lyrics and direction by Bob and Tobly McSmith(Showgirls! The Musical!, JonBenet! Murder Mystery Theater!). Jason Wise (Cats, Beauty and the Beast) is the choreographer and associate director. Bayside! The Musical is produced by John Capo and MediumFace Productions.

April Kidwell, who previously portrayed another iconic Elizabeth Berkley role as Nomi Malone in Showgirls! The Musical!, will star as Jessie Spano. Additional casting will be announced soon.

Tickets for all seats at all performances are $25. To purchase tickets, log onto www.BaysideTheMusical.com or visit the Theatre 80 box office.

Performances will be held on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm beginning September 12. For the complete performance schedule visit www.BaysideTheMusical.com.
