What does the future hold for sex? The mysterious conglomerate Monocorp fabricates an epidemic condemning intimacy to profit from its "safe" new pseudo-sex product called the Love Light. Meanwhile, at an underground "intimacy" speakeasy, four fallen popstars gather in collusion to plan their revenge against Monocorp's devious CEO - a la the current political climate. As the world teeters on the brink of destruction, can these unlikely heroes overcome their differences in time to stop Monocorp's evil agenda?


El Greco Productions and Theatre Planners presents the smash hit satirical pop musical Future Sex, Inc. opening at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood on January 27. Helmed by award-winning director Kiff Scholl, Future Sex Inc., formerly known Siamese Sex Show, enjoyed a critically acclaimed run in 2016. Now entitled, Future Sex, Inc., this pop musical blends Lady Gaga-esque popstar theatricality with Blade Runner's dark comic vision.


The musical includes an infectious soundtrack with rap lyrics from hip-hop legend Kool Keith, Mistah Fab, and J Diggs. According to Hollywood Revealed, "The show is a joy ride with cutting edge music and... stand out performances;" Rolling Stone wrote "Great fun! Music is Amazing. Guardians of the Galaxy meets the Black Eyed Peas;" LA Weekly added, "Go! Exuberant, fanciful, deliciously weird."

The show humorously explores the importance of connecting and potential loss of intimacy in not only an increasingly technological world but in a satirical bent on many of the issues going on in our country right now. "Future Sex, Inc. is a living comic book that satirizes pop music, technology, and of course sex," says director Kiff Scholl. "Enter the underground world of the Future Sex, Inc. - a sexy, shadowy, decadent futuristic cabaret that will keep you coming back for more."
