Fresh from its award-winning run at the New York International Fringe
Festival, SUV: The Musical! will open on Jan. 5 at the Wings Theatre on
154 Christopher Street.
The first-ever
anti-SUV theatrical production, SUV: The Musical! is a "timeless love
story. The plot follows hero environmentalist Max Blank as he takes on
the entrenched interests, a double-dealing Saudi sheik, and two randy
crash test dummies to foil Behemoth Motor's plot to destroy America —and falls in love with evil SUV designer Dick Johnson's wife!," state press notes.
"But does
Max end up with Sarah? Does the new Behemoth Destroyer revive America's
flagging auto industry? Does Saudi ambassador Bindar al-Subhai
al-Mohammad al-Quarzi succeed in driving up oil prices to
$5-per-gallon? And, most important, do the Crash Test Dummies find true
love? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scrawl graffiti all over the
next SUV you see!"
SUV: The Musical! is written by Gersh Kuntzman and Marc Dinkin, and directed by Eric Oleson.
