The producers of Jersey Boys and Rock of Ages have come together to bring you a hilarious new musical that’s gonna be huge—FAT CAMP. It’s the story of a rock ‘n’ roll rebel and the place where he proves he’s more than meets the eye: Camp Overton. This clever and quirky comedy was a smash hit at the New York Musical Theatre Festival where it won “Best of Fest.” Now you can see this delicious new musical about first love, second chances and lasting friendships.
