By Matthew Lopez
On stage 05.01–06.02.19

A hilarious, heartwarming, and unlikely new comedy fresh from an extended Off-Broadway run. Casey is young, broke, and impersonating Elvis at a run-down bar in the Florida Panhandle. When the owner hires a drag show to attract more customers, Casey is out of a job. Or is he? Filled with music and humor–and plenty of sequins–this joyful, acclaimed new play is a reminder that the path to prosperity and fulfillment may sometimes take an unexpected star turn.
