Kate Pazakis is best known for creating the UMPO series at Rockwell, with shows that have included The Unauthorized Musicals parody of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, UMPO TROOP Beverly Hills, UMPO HOCUS POCUS, and the recent smash hit UMPO MEAN GURLZ. Together, Bradley and Kate produced the smash hit ROMEO+JULIET: LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD starring Corbin Bleu and Ashley Argota. Bradley Bredeweg is also known for producing the recent critically acclaimed revival of SIDE SHOW that was directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon.

The duo is joined by acclaimed Musical Director Gregory Nabours, who brings to the table a soundtrack of updated and nostalgic 1980's smash hits.

"I grew up obsessing over this movie and to be able to catch up with these characters nearly ten years later after the movie ended, is a fan guy's dream come true," Bradley Bredeweg said. Adding, "I don't want this to just feel like a parody. We will pay tribute to the classic brat pack film while also telling some thought-provoking and perhaps emotional storytelling. Oh and keep a look out for a couple surprise appearances from other beloved classic cinema characters from that era - ahem, Marty McFly."
