CHRIST's Party Like It's 1979 was held on Monday, July 20th at 9pm at Vlada (331 West 51st St.), The cast stopped by to join the fun and BroadwayWorld.com was there!

In 1979, a French-Canadian airline steward flew into San Francisco and all hell broke loose. 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!

CHRIST features a cast including Kristy Cates (Wicked), Steven Stafford (Spamalot), Jenna Coker Jones, (Evil Dead), Dan Amboyer (Bash'd), Ben Knox, Eric Rubbe, and JamaAl Wilson.

The musical is directed by Holly-Anne Ruggiero (Jersey Boys) with choreography by Holly Cruz (Seussical), sets by Michael Kramer, costumes by DH Withrow, and lights by Christian DeAngelis. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST is presented by Knoxious Productions with co-line producers, Joey Oliva and Noah Himmelstein.
