"This bathhouse brouhaha explores the advent of AIDS while satirizing mankind's extremes — religious mania, gay drama and maniacal monkeys make for an outrageous experience!"

The production features sets by Michael Kramer, costumes by DH Withrow and lights by Christian DeAngelis.

The new musical is presented by Knoxious Productions with co-line producers Joey Oliva and Noah Himmelstein.
