It Came From Outer Space” surprisingly now a musical but not surprisingly on the TheatreSquared stage is described as “in the vein of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’” and “both an homage and parody” of the 1953 Universal International movie of the same name.
The musical premiered at the Nederlander Theatre in Chicago on Sunday. Critics panned it, with the kindest reviews saying it needed tailoring to prepare for Broadway. The harshest called it irredeemable.
It Came from Outer Space, a zany, rollicking musical adaptation of the 1950s sci-fi classic, begins performances at TheatreSquared on August 24 and will run through September 18.
