According to Falcon, "It's the Maternal Musical that mashes up Sophocles' Oedipus the King with the music of the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley. Oedipus has a 'Burning Love' and he 'Can't Help Falling in Love' with his Mama. So 'Don't Be Cruel' and miss this musical parody by the theatre company the Los Angeles Times calls 'The Masters of Musical Spoofery.'" Matt Walker directs the ensemble production. Opening night is Aug. 21. Performances continue to Sept. 27.
