Wake up and smell the alien invasion in this outrageous comedy by the author of the off-Broadway hit play, Crumple Zone"***** [FIVE STARS]! Buddy Thomas’s deliriously campy sci-fi spoof—one of the most entertaining shows I have ever seen at the Fringe Festival—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"The larger-than-life homage to leading ladies and low-budget sci-fi films of the '50s...The audience's enthusiastic reception...guaranteed you'll laugh your anal probe off." —NYTheatre.com"Devil Boys From Beyond is how a no-budget show should be done...an uproarious homage to C-movies and the golden age of camp!"—BackstageFEE: $75 per performanceOriginal sound design and underscoring music CD available for licensed productions.
