Sci-Fi fans and conspiracy theorists are getting their very own musical comedy this Summer, as ILLUMINATI LIZARDS FROM OUTER SPACE descends upon Manhattan - as part of the New York Musical Festival, July 8 - 13th at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre. The production features Music & Lyrics by Yuri Worontschak and Book & Lyrics by Paul Western-Pittard. Joey Murray directs. Casting is soon to be announced.
When beauty-pageant contestant Tina Lyons is cheated out of her rightful first place in the finale of a Ms. Beautiful World competition, she admits herself into the Savra Wellness Centre for Spiritual and Mental Wellbeing to rebalance her life. Little does she know, she's accidentally checked-in to a top-secret operation run by Illuminati-lizard Overlords using the hospital as a cover. They're on a mission to colonize the planet. The problem is - they're awful at their job and they're running out of time before the mission is canceled and planet earth is annihilated.
Believing these lizard aliens to be yet another symptom of her own overworked psyche, Tina decides to help her new friends 'conquer the earth' by staging their very own Beauty Pageant, using their DNA altering 'human cream' as first prize. As it tracks the rise, fall, then rise again of Tina Lyons, ILLUMINATI LIZARDS FROM OUTER SPACE dances us through passionate, catchy, rock & roll all of which describes the striking music of Illuminati Lizards from Outer Space. Not to mention a theme that crawls inside your head like an intergalactic ear-worm and refuses to let go of your mind.

Stanton, lighting design by Jamie Roderick, projection design by Lisa Renkel, choreography by Brooke Wendle, and musical direction by Luke Williams. The Stage Managers are Ali Simone & Seth Betzler.
