Paul is a regular guy, in a regular town, who is a regular at his local independent coffee shop, and regularly expresses his dislike for musicals. You might almost say, he didn’t like them. But the universe seemed to have a different plan in mind.

One regular day in Hatchetfield, a meteor strikes the local theatre. Suddenly, and with no warning, people start spontaneously singing and dancing. Just think of the implications!

Paul, his colleagues, his crush, and his crush’s professor/doomsday survivalist are some of the few survivors left- can they save the town? Can they save the world? Can they stop this musical apocalypse? Or will the apotheosis get them?

Come to the ADC Theatre to find out . . . IF YOU DARE!!!!!!
