WILD WOMEN OF PLANET WONGO Invades The Front-Row Fringe Festival  Image

The 60s sci-fi immersive musical Wild Women of Planet Wongo, a wacky B-movie inspired sci-fi comedy about a planet of Amazonian women who first encounter men when two bumbling astronauts crash on their planet, is coming virtually to the Front-Row Fringe Festival after successful productions in New York City and Chicago.

Presented by Not Too Fancy Productions, LLC and filmed at the Parkside Lounge in New York City, Wongo will be zooming to you on Friday, March 12 at 11pm CST, Saturday, March 13 at 1pm CST and Sunday, March 14 at 3:30pm CST.

Wild Women Of Planet Wongo is "Barbarella-meets-John-Waters kind of story ... An immersive musical crammed with good-natured energy and nonstop campy humor ... the show is so much fun"- Blogcritics.
