Pasadena Playhouse has announced the launch today of In Development: Iceboy! on PlayhouseLive. This work gives an insiders' look at an unproduced theatrical work as it is introduced to the world for the first time. Join Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Adam DeVine and Laura Bell Bundy as they perform 4 new songs and give a rare early look at Iceboy!, a new musical by Mark Hollmann, Erin Quinn Purcell and Jay Reiss. This preview of Iceboy! is directed by Kevin Chamberlin with musical accompaniment by Jesse Vargas.
From the co-creators of the Broadway hits The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Urinetown: The Musical. Iceboy! tells the absolutely untrue story of a 10,000-year-old Neanderthal who's discovered frozen in the Arctic, brought to New York, and adopted by Vera Vimm (Mullally), the biggest Broadway star of 1938. But once thawed, Iceboy (DeVine) becomes an acting sensation whose talents threaten to upstage the once mighty Vera. It's All About Eve if only Eve were a caveman.
