Written by Best of Off-Broadway
Published 2010-08-20

The new musical Power Balladz officially opens Off-Broadway at the Midtown Theatre on Aug. 19 following a sold-out premiere at The LAB Theatre (formerly the Guthrie Lab Theatre) in Minneapolis. Previews began August 5th.

The 90-minute tribute to the rock anthems of the '70s, '80s and '90s, was created by Mike Todaro, Dan Nycklemoe with Peter Rothstein, and written by Todaro and Nycklemoe, features direction by Todaro. Dieter Bierbrauer, Scott Richard Foster and Mary Mossberg star.

Audiences can expect tunes by Guns 'N' Roses, Journey, Heart, Queens, Bon Jovi, Styx, interactive trivia games, and an opportunity for the audience to socialize. Following the performance, ticket holders have access to a live-band rock anthem karaoke show during which they are welcome to perform on stage.

At Power Balladz, "you can celebrate the best music of the '70s, '80s and '90s and liberate the rock star inside of you. The formula is simple: start with some blood-pumping arena rock songs by Motley Crue, Poison, Guns 'N' Roses, Journey and other kick-ass arena bands, add some talented rock singers, give them a full band, lots of lights, a fog machine, a video projection screen, plenty of leather and long hair, and you've got a concert, indeed an extravaganza. And while the Power Balladz band knows how to rock, the show takes an unexpected turn when the high school sweetheart of one of the musicians stumbles into the show after ten years apart, raising the question — will he be man enough to finally score the girl of his dreams?"

The design team features Bradley Clements and Hilary Noxon (lighting design), Alex Ritter (sound design), Abbi Stern (costume design) and Dan Nycklemoe (media design). Jason Loffredo is the music supervisor.
