NoHo Arts Center features The First Nudie Musical and iGhost
Staged readings of two new musicals that are part of the Festival of New American Musicals will be presented at NoHo Arts Center in June. A reading of The First Nudie Musical, adapted from the cult film sensation that has had audiences laughing and tapping their toes since its release in 1975 will take place on June 15 and 16. The show features all the songs from the film, plus lots of new ones. If you like raunchy, outrageous musical fun, this one’s for you. For more information go to the Festival website at http://www.lafestival.org/.
On June 29 and 30 you can see a reading of the new musical, iGhost, by Doug Haverty (book & lyrics) and Adryan Russ (music & lyrics). Spirits soar in this contemporary, musicalized spin on Oscar Wilde's classic The Canterville Ghost. A young artist unleashes bluetooth, wireless wizardry into a haunted castle with bombastic, humorous and surprisingly romantic results. Haverty and Russ are also the writers of off-Broadway's Inside Out.
