The Banger's Flopera Tickets

Winner of "Excellence in Music and Lyrics" (NY Fringe Awards) for Lost - The Musical in 2003, which Time Out called "The Best Musical in the Fringe," Inverse is BACK with The Banger's Flopera, a musical “perversion” of that infamous tale of high-class low-lifes, The Beggar's Opera. Watch in arousing disgust as gangstaz, porn stars and street singers rock and rap their way through a world in which dumbshits win elections, thugs make bank, and www.exploitedteens.com gets 1 million hits/day. While Beggar's took place in 17th century London, Banger's takes place in 21st century New York City. While Beggar's begins with Mr. Peachum exploiting his hoard of street beggars, Banger's begins with Mr. Peacock exploiting his band of street singers. While Beggar's depicts the seedy goings-on of Mac the Knife, the King of Thieves, Banger's gives us Mac the Knife as the King of Thugs. And while the underworld of Beggar's is composed of pickpockets, whores, and crooked cops, the underworld of Banger's is composed of gangstaz, porn stars, and, well, crooked cops (some things haven't changed). This production of The Banger's Flopera – A Musical Perversion will feature 18 songs performed by a band of four (piano, guitar, bass, and drums) and 18 singers. The score ranges in style from rock, rap, and heavy trip to torch song, vaudeville, and love ballad. And the same design team that helped Inverse create its award winning show, Lost – The Musical, will be back for this production. Come see The Banger's Flopera – A Musical Perversion and discover the inverse of the modern musical!
