Hell Toupee Cabaret

Hell Toupee Cabaret

Damnation Has Never Been This Much Fun

Denver’s monthly infernal variety show opens Thursday at the Dangerous Theatre!

 

Special guests for the May 24 opening will include the hilariously inappropriate comedy of Dick Black, the original electropsycoustic rock of Elmo Chesterhazy, and the enchanting enchantment of Erica Sodos.

 

Come for an evening of eternal damnation, and still be home by ten. Denver’s Dangerous Theatre will become transported to the 9^th Plane of Hell at 7:30 on the fourth Thursday of each month. Hosted by Infernal Phil and featuring Demi Urge and the Rimshots Jazz Combo. The Hell Toupee Cabaret will showcase a variety of guest performance talents along with regular acts such as Max Mago’s amazing magicians, the stage combat of War Ensemble, the lovely ladies (and handsome guys) of the Planet X Dance Corps and more. Don’t worry, you can keep your soul, the show will only set you back $10, $8 for students, seniors, military, and those with a devilish costume! Presented by Planet X Productions.

Live at the Bug Theatre

April 27 through May 12

Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m., plus Thursday, May 3

Set 99 years in the future, Roberta the love-bot struggles with her programming and her role as a servant to mankind in this class war parable of revolution, romance, and robots.

Planet X Productions—the folks who brought you Captain Swift and the Invasion from Dimension X, “Sea of Blood,” and “Beast of Babylon”—are back at it with the Next Pony. The two organizations that brought Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical to the Bug stage in November for multiple sold-out shows, are now bringing us Robot the Rock Opera, by Seth Iniguez Bertoni and Fredd Bowers. This bold work of original musical theater will dazzle the senses as the live rock orchestrations of Fredd Bowers are combined with Meg Bertoni’s vibrant choreography. Robot creates a foreboding but inspiring portrait of the future as a reflection of humanity’s past—and present—of slavery and oppression, and the power of the “human” spirit to overcome tyranny.

Tickets are $15 at the door or at robottherockopera.eventbrite.com

Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical live on stage at The Bug Theatre November 11-26

“All Singing! All Dancing! All Flesh Eating!”

For Immediate Release:

The Next Pony and Planet X Productions present Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical live on stage at The Bug Theatre November 11-26.

Cannibal! The Musical is based on the true story of Alferd Packer, who was convicted of cannibalism in Lake City, Colorado in 1883.

The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip from Utah to Colorado, he tells his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Pry as he awaits his execution. While searching for gold and love in Colorado Territory, he and his companions get lost in the Rocky Mountains and resort to unthinkable horrors, including toe-tapping songs!

A Colorado cult favorite released in 1993, Alfred Packer: The Musical, was written, directed, produced and starred in by future South Park co-creator Trey Parker as a film student at University of Colorado. The film was re-released by Troma Entertainment in 1996 under the name Cannibal! The Musical. 1998 saw Cannibal’s first adaptation to the stage, and since then the show has become a phenomenon akin to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, with live theatrical and “shadow cast” productions presented to wide acclaim in America and abroad.

Featuring hilarious songs, gruesome gore, unusual Indians and an unprecedented number of dancing animals, this show is must-see for fans of the outrageous style of humor that made Trey and his colleagues famous.

Cannibal! The Musical plays on November 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26 at 8:00 p.m.
