Two one-act musicals.

Music by Alan Menken. Lyrics by David Spencer. Book by Alan Brennert

5 m., 4 f.

Unit Set.

This off-beat musical by the composer of Little Shop of Horrors and the Disney films Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid is two one-act musicals of speculative fiction. The first, 'The Girl Who Was Plugged In', is about a homeless bag-lady whose soul is transplanted into the body of a gorgeous female android by a company which manufactures celebrities. The second, 'Her Pilgrim Soul', is about a scientist who researches holographic imaging. One day a mysterious "living" holograph, apparently a woman long dead, appears and changes his life forever. As usual, Alan Menken's music is wonderful and each story is pignant and definitely haunting.

"'Her Pilgrim Soul' is a melodious musical about buried memory and reincarnation." -N.Y. Times.

"It's worst moments are still more intelligent and provocative than the best moments in Cats. . . . Her Pilgrim Soul. . . is so cunningly written and musicalized with such emotional sincerity, I dare any proponent of new age philosophy to resist it." -USA Today.
