HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – A musical comedy skewering the mainstream stereotypes attached to webcam models is set to debut as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival showcase series 1001 Minutes of New Musicals.
Chaturbate: The Musical will begin a limited five-performance run beginning June 10.
Written by Dan Margules with music by David Jayden Anthony and Chris Edgar, Chaturbate: The Musical follows starry-eyed Broadway hopeful Laura London as she makes her play for theatrical fame. But the struggling actress has a little secret: To make ends meet, she takes it al off nightly as a model on Chaturbate.com. When the producer of the family-friendly musical she’s auditioning for discovers her online command performances, Laura’s unwholesome double life threatens to end her stage career forever.
