Bedbugs!!! Extend Their Stay Off-Broadway

Good news, the bed bugs aren't going anywhere soon!?! The girl-meets-bug sci-fi-rock-musical-comedy Bedbugs!!! has extended off-Broadway through November 2; it had originally been set to shutter on October 25. Directed and choreographed by Robert Bartley, the show officially opened on September 14 at the ArcLight Theatre.

Featuring music by Paul Leschen and a book and lyrics by Fred Sauter, Bedbugs!!! follows Carly, an exterminator, who is hell-bent on avenging her mother's bedbug-related death. In an effort to permanently rid the city of its infestation, she accidentally mutates the pests into an army of human-size, intelligent, carnal creatures out for blood and world domination. The tuner premiered at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2008.

The cast includes Chris Hall, Grace McLean, Nicholas Park, Brian Charles Rooney, Danny Bolero, Tracey Conyer Lee, Barry Shafrin, Gretchen Wylder, Courtney Bassett and Colin Scott Cahill.
