Ever wanted to go back in time? Now's your chance! Get on board THE TOTALLY TUBULAR TIME MACHINE - NYC's only interactive, inter-galactic, pop music experience! TTTM is a reality based pop musical that allows you to time travel and party up-close and personal with a cast of "celebrity pop stars" (past and present) performing your favorite hits live. Madonna, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and more! It's Back to the Future meets the MTV Music Awards, and you're the star in this totally immersive, radical mash-up of pop music from the 80s, 90s and today!

TTTM is to nightlife what TMZ is to celebrity gossip. Experience all the celebrity news that's fit to print and some that's not. It's a trip!

"TTTM gets you passed the velvet ropes and inside the very heart of celebrity gossip, explains producer and co-creator Denise Fennell. "After you step out of the time machine you'll witness the unfolding of Hollywood rumors that still make headlines. Ask Britney why she shaved her head or watch Madonna and Lady Gaga discussing whether or not the beat to 'Express Yourself' was stolen. Maybe you'll want to ask Justin Bieber about why he and Selena broke up, or maybe, just start a rumor yourself," she says. "It's a chance to experience celebrity culture in a way that's usually only ever seen in the tabloids."

"Your not just at the party, you are the party," says Watman. "It's the ultimate interactive pop music experience because anything can happen between you and stars like Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Ginger Spice, Vanilla Ice, Katy Perry, JLo and Puffy, too. Envision a Madam Tussaud's that comes to life."
