Beatles-Inspired BEAT BUGS Comes to Orlando REP

Orlando Repertory Theatre (Orlando REP) is being taken over by the cutest bugs ever seen in Central Florida. The hit Netflix show, based on music made famous by The Beatles, inspires this toe-tapping, feel-good musical, sure to be loved by all ages. Beat Bugs, A Musical Adventure runs February 25 April 7, with public performances beginning March 2. Orlando REP is grateful to this production's Presenting Sponsor, Kiwanis Club of Orlando Foundation, and Supporting Sponsor, KPMG. The 2018/19 season is sponsored by Advent Health For Children.

Five bug buddies who regularly explore a backyard full of adventures, embark on an important mission: to save Strawberry Fields. A not-so-nice stink bug is taking over, and has devious plans for the land. Can the Beat Bugs remind him that All You Need is Love while they do their best to Come Together and save the day? Other featured songs include Strawberry Fields Forever, Yellow Submarine, With a Little Help From My Friends, among many more!

Beat Bugs, A Musical Adventure cast includes Lexy Adams, Jason Blackwater, Megan Boulden, Casey Casteel, Greg Coleman, Bradley Egan, Aja Grooms, Grace Gustino, Jarrett Poore, and Arius West.
