In 2017, the Some Like it Pop podcast produced a stand-alone series about the development of a new musical based on the H.G. Wells classic 'The Invisible Man.' That show, INVISIBLE: THE MUSICAL by David Hollingsworth (book) and David Orris (score) has continued to work its way through the developmental pipeline, and on Monday, Sept. 2 at 9:45 p.m. ET will have its New York debut in a concert presentation at 54 Below. To celebrate INVISIBLE's New York premiere, Some Like it Pop's Jennifer McHugh, with help from colleague Matt Tamanini, got the group back together and interviewed the show's creators, stars, and directors to see how things have changed and grown over the past two years, and what's next for the musical.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Anthony Norman and Krystina Alabado in INVISIBLE: A NEW MUSICAL directed by Marc Kudisch on September 2nd, 2019. A re-telling of H.G. Well's sci-fi classic The Invisible Man, as set through the lens of an 80's teen comedy (with an 80's-inspired original score, to match), INVISIBLE is the story of Griff and Kemper, two hopeless nerds, whose plans to woo the popular girls through science go awry when Griff accidentally turns himself invisible. With prom swiftly approaching, Griff, Kemper, and their goth friend Hemlock (who may or may not have a crush on Griff) must find a way to make him visible again, all while avoiding snobby cliques, busybody teachers, and the school's resident rich kid jock, Chetwick.
