The new musical features a libretto by Lola Rock 'N' Rolla (writer/director of B-movies "Dragzilla," "Night of the Living Gay," "I Was a Tranny Werewolf") and a score by songwriter Gina Volpe (guitarist of the seminal NYC punk band The Lunachicks).

The cast will include Meg Baessler, J. Alexander Coe, Sam Given, Blair Goldberg, Eric Gunhus, Thomas Poarch, Danielle Erin Rhodes and Christopher Trepinski.

"Posing as a suburban housewife, an alien from Planet Homo has infiltrated a religious middle-American town," according to press notes. "Will the good people of Pleasant Valley Pines notice before their whole community erupts in chaos and depravity?"

Homo The Musical! also features choreography by Aliane Baquerot, associate direction by Adam Jackman, set design by Jason Courson and video/projection design by Lola Rock 'N' Rolla.

The show is presented by The New York Musical Theatre Festival, The Playthings Theatre, Mark Hartman and Noah Lemaich.

Show times are July 23 at 8 PM, July 25 at 5 PM and 9 PM, July 26 at 5 PM and July 27 at 9 PM.
