Not elves, Trolls. The new musical by Bill Dyer and Dick DeBenedictis, extends its world-premiere run through March 31 at Los Angeles' Coast Playhouse. Trolls began performances Dec. 1 and was to have closed Jan. 6.

When "Boomie" passes away, six of his gay friends get together to throw him a memorial bash. What they don't know is that Boomie is there with them, commenting on their actions and singing along with them as they toast his life and loves.

A dance music arranger, DeBenedictis' credits include Do I Hear a Waltz?, Bajour, Annie Get Your Gun, Showboat and The Night They Raided Minsky's.
