Lizard Boy - Articles Page 5

This award-winning new indie-rock musical is written by Justin Huertas, directed by Brandon Ivie, and presented by Prospect Theater Company.

*Lizard Boy* tells the story of Trevor—a young man with green scaly skin—whose first date spirals into a mythic and transformative journey as he confronts villains, monsters, and himself. Will the night conclude with a kiss… or the end of the world?

Following a successful run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Prospect’s NYC Premiere production will feature the acclaimed original actor-musician cast, including show author and the composer of Marvel’s *Squirrel Girl* podcast, Justin Huertas, joined onstage by collaborators Kiki deLohr and William A. Williams. The production is helmed by original director Brandon Ivie.

Lizard Boy is the winner of six 2021 San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Awards, including Best Entire Production, Best Stage Direction, and Best Ensemble.

The original cast recording, which is available online, has been streamed over three million times on Spotify.
