El Greco Productions Presents World Premiere of Hip Hop Superhero Musical SIAMESE SEX SHOW

What does the future hold for sex? Blending Lady Gaga-esque popstar theatricality with Blade Runner's dark comic vision, the world premiere of the Siamese Sex Show, a hip hop musical, takes place in the dystopian future. The mysterious conglomerate Monocorp fabricates an epidemic condemning intimacy to profit from its "safe" new pseudo-sex product called the Love Light. At an underground "intimacy" speakeasy called "The Siamese Sex Show," four fallen popstars gather in collusion to plan their revenge against Monocorp's devious CEO. As the world teeters on the brink of destruction, can these unlikely heroes overcome their differences in time to stop Monocorp's evil agenda?

Siamese Sex Show opens at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood on October 8, starring Dayna Alice Austin, Riccardo Berdini (two time Best Italian Musical Theatre Performer), Isaac Cruz (National Comedy Theater, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Blue Bloods), JillIan Easton (a jazz singer, DOMA'sDorian's Descent, The Baby Project), Eddie Gutierrez (Off-Broadway's Miss Abigail's Guide), Miki Holmes (several UCLA Theater Productions), Alyssa Noto (Big River, Big Fish), Erin Rye (Silver Lake Chorus, Veep), Cloie Wyatt Taylor (a dancer, How to get Away with Murder, Superstore), and Keith E.

Helmed by award-winning director Kiff Scholl, the Siamese Sex Show musical is coming off of recent hit workshops productions in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The musical includes rap lyrics from hip-hop legend Kool Keith, Mistah Fab, and J Diggs. Check out the music here: http://www.siamesesexshow.com/music1.html

The show humorously explores the importance of connecting and potential loss of intimacy in an increasingly technological world.

"Siamese Sex Show is a living comic book that satirizes pop music, technology, and of course sex," says director Kiff Scholl. "Enter the underground world of the Siamese Sex Show - a sexy, shadowy, decadent futuristic cabaret that will keep you coming back for more."
