NYMF Hit OEDIPUS FOR KIDS! Gets Concert at Feinstein's/54 Below

OEDIPUS FOR KIDS! is returning to the New York stage for the first time since its sold-out, extended run as a Next Link Selection at the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Following successful productions across North America since it first premiered, Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street), Broadway's Supper Club, will present a one night only concert version of OEDIPUS FOR KIDS! on Saturday, November 18th, 2017 at 11:30PM.

There is a $20-$45 cover charge and $20 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.

Featuring a book by Gil Varod, Robert J. Saferstein, and Kimberly Patterson, music by Robert J. Saferstein, and lyrics by Gil Varod, OEDIPUS FOR KIDS! is the hysterical journey of a three-person arts-in-education troupe attempting to stage a child-friendly version of Sophocles' classic "Oedipus Rex."

Unfolding in real-time, OEDIPUS FOR KIDS! turns the audience into attendees of the latest performance of the Fuzzy Duck Theatre Company dedicated to performing the classics for children. After their success with "Uncle Tommy's Cabin" and "Titus Andronicus Bakes a Cake," the Fuzzy Ducks have now set their eyes on the famed Greek tragedy by Sophocles. As the off-stage disagreements between the company members escalate and spill onstage, what was once a misguided-albeit-educational theatrical experience, swiftly spirals into a Charybdis-like whirlpool of suck. With songs like "A Little Complex," "What's It Like When Ya Get The Plague?" and "My Lover Is My Husband Is My Son," you'll be glad that you left the kids at home, because this musical should in no way be viewed by children if you love them at all.
