This “horror comedy musical” comes to Alfred November 21, 22, 23
From Alfred State College,
The Alfred State Drama Club is excited to present “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” as their fall production. Four performances will be held in the Cappadonia Auditorium from Nov. 21 – 23.
“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” is a horror comedy musical based in Hatchetfield. Everything in Hatchetfield seemed normal until people began singing…then they began dancing…and now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy that doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future.
Brady McIntosh, appearing in his third show at Alfred State, plays the main character Paul. He is the Vice President of Drama Club and the President of Voices. Connor Ball, the President of the Instrumental Music, serves as the crew lead and the stage manager. The cast features 21 students.
“We have had a fun semester so far working on this production. It is only my second musical so it’s always kind of an inside joke that I don’t like musicals…but I do really like this one! I sing the songs to myself almost every day. I hope the audience has as much fun watching the show as we have had doing it!” commented Director Abby Hurley.
Tickets are now on sale at the campus bookstore and can be purchased with cash, card, or CSA. Admission is $5 for students and $10 for general admission. Tickets will also be sold at the door for cash only.
Shows will be performed at 7 p.m. on Nov. 21, 22, and 23 with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and a special matinee while be performed at 2 p.m. on Nov. 23. The show is rated PG-13 and may not be suited for young audiences.
