June 30th, 2009Creature from The Black Lagoon-A Raging Rockin' Show debuts TODAY!
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD, THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF L.A.,
LIGHTS UP THE STAGE WITH "CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON-A RAGING ROCKIN'
SHOW," A BROADWAY-LEVEL CONTEMPORARY, MUSICAL ADAPTATION
OF UNIVERSAL'S CULT HORROR FILM
Universal City, California, June 30, 2009 - Universal Studios Hollywood
introduced "Creature from The Black Lagoon-A Raging Rockin' Show," featuring
an all-original score and dazzling Broadway-level production values in a
hip, musical stage adaptation of the Universal cult classic, opening
exclusively at The Entertainment Capital of L.A.
The "Creature" made a grand entrance to the theme park in an
enormous traveling aquarium. Among those on hand to witness his arrival was
actress Julie Adams, who was the "Creature's" leading lady in the 1954
classic Universal Pictures film production that inspired the new musical
production.
The new musical attraction has an approximate 25 minute running
time and a storyline that has been updated from the original screenplay to
infuse romance and comic relief with extravagant stagecraft, acrobatic
choreography and a hilarious and contemporary musical score certain to keep
the production moving at a sizzling pace.
Audiences will be immersed within a menacing Amazon environment,
completely enveloped by the exotic sounds of the jungle as they watch the
twisted love story between beauty and beast unfold. From the production's
first moments, guests will be thrust into an unexpectedly outrageous,
bizarrely romantic, melodic and often outlandishly comic adventure as this
monster classic is re-imagined for the 21st Century.
"Creature from the Black Lagoon-A Raging Rockin' Show" is being
realized for the stage by Universal Creative and an award-winning theatrical
production team drawing from the best of Broadway that includes, Tony
AwardR-nominated Director and Choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett, whose
