There’s a new show in town unlike any other you might have seen recently. Imagine as much as you can based on its tongue-in-cheek title, and you’ve only pictured the tip of the iceberg.

Coming: A Rock Musical of Biblical Proportions, is a world premiere musical. The plot follows Josh Crenshaw, a doe-eyed boy from Bethlehem who auditions for “American Icon” in order to spread his message of love and hope through song.

Josh, who is unwittingly the second coming of Christ, is soon sucked into a NYC world of vice — and fabulous costumes. We watch Josh struggle to prevail (through outrageous song and dance, of course), while the events of the Book of Revelation unfold in the present day. The result is raucous, risqué and rollicking.

The show is produced by Traverse Arts Project, a company that seeks to promote thought and the exchange of ideas, especially within and about the GLBT community.

Catch this show during its short run; it has the potential to be the next cult classic.

Tickets are available online.
