Unit Set

Flying Saucers! Backstabbing Bitches! Muscle Hunks and Men in Pumps! Wake up and smell the alien invasion in this outrageous comedy by the author of the off-Broadway hit play, Crumple Zone

"Drag heaven on Earth...DEVIL BOYS is a riot." –New York Times

"Be ready to laugh...a cross-dressing comedy that puts a fresh coat of over-the-top on 1950's sci-fi flicks....Devilishly clever." –NY Daily News

"Two shirtless hunks, four fabulous drag queens, and 90 minutes' worth of high-camp comedy: What more could a fan of ultraridiculous theatrics want? Devil Boys is a devilish delight." –Backstage

"What's funnier than a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist investigating reports of flying saucers in the mysterious swamplands of Lizard Lick, Florida—the hickest hick-town in all of America? Not much! Unless, perhaps, you cast a man in drag, add a boozing ex-husband, a nemesis/rival reporter, to boot! Mix in clever one-liners, a candy-colored design, and enough boy-toy eye-candy to fill a giant's Halloween sack, and you've got one hell of a show! You might want see it twice. I missed some lines, here and there, as I was still belly-laughing from some previous ones." –nytheatre.com

"You can tell from the title that Devil Boys From Beyond intends to be fun, and the campy production does not disappoint....a satiric, raunchy spoof that any generation will enjoy." –Associated Press

"The Fringe Festival usually throws up a couple of shows you can bank on, and "Devil Boys From Beyond," a sci-fi campfest by Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott, performs that service here." –Variety

"A gaily goofy all-male sci-fi adventure. Nuttier than a pack of killer tomatoes." –citysbest.com

"Delightfully subversive." –Theatremania.com

"Hilarious. This play will roughly triple the Theatre District's laugh quotient for as long as it’s able to camp out." –Talkinbroadway.com

"One of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time....filled from beginning to end with untold and unlimited surprises." –Oscaremoore.com

"A honey of a laugh riot...a wonderfully funny time." –Broadwayworld.com

"***** [FIVE STARS]! Buddy Thomas’s deliriously campy sci-fi spoof—one of the most entertaining shows I have ever seen—is naughty, gleeful fun...The show opens a fabulous portal to the past: not just the paranoid world of the 1950s, but the legendary drag romps of Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company and Charles Busch’s Theatre-in-Limbo from the 1960s through the 1980s. Devil Boys from Beyond is a necklace of golden links to that wild theatrical tradition. If there were any justice in this mixed-up world of ours, the whole show would be tractor-beamed Off Broadway tomorrow." —Adam Feldman, Time Out New York

"Cheap in all the right ways, the fast, taw dry and very funny Devil Boys From Beyond is the Fringe Festival at its best." —New York Post

FEE: $75 per performance.
