A New Musical Satire
Imagine "Rocky Horror Picture Show" meets "Bat Boy, The Musical,"

Imagine "Rocky Horror Picture Show" meets "Bat Boy, The Musical,"
with an injection of Huxley's A Brave New World...
A post-apocalyptic tale of romance, murder, conspiracies,
shopping, and beauty pageants...
and it all takes place at Costco*
* or "Shopmo," for obvious legal reasons...
|
It's Black Friday when the "Shopocalyse" hits. A global outbreak turns online shoppers in to shopping zombies, and a group of shoppers are forced to quarantine at ShopMo.
When our very existence is threatened, can we join together and learn from past mistakes? Can we forego instant gratification to preserve the future? Or will we just go shopping? |

BLACK FRIDAY is interactive & immersive,
a new theatrical experience for adventurous audiences. The show is 2 acts and 23 songs, with a cast of 7 actors, and the audience are the other ShopMo shoppers. They'll sing, dance, chant, and clap along, and participate in other unexpected ways throughout the show. The show’s satirical themes are sweetened with a biting humor (literally), and there’s a deeper message, but it’s also just bloody good fun. The music is infectious. Hook-laden songs backed by a 4-piece rock band with 80s-inspired synth, updated with fresh and current electronic production. WARNING: This show contains adult language, sexual content, nudity, violence, and drug use… All the fun stuff. |

Robyn Cage:
Composer, Lyricist, Librettist Robyn Cage is a singer, songwriter, actress, and self-professed shopaholic. A graduate of The Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Musical Theatre, she went on to become an accomplished actress in NYC, where her performances earned praise from The New York Times and Variety. Cage's powerful vocals have commanded stages nationwide, from soloing with the Boston POPS in Boston’s Symphony Hall to Austin City Limits and the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater. On stage, Robyn originated leading roles in Bookends at The York Theatre and Transport at Irish Rep. Other favorite roles include Sheila in Hair, Miranda in The Tempest, and Johanna in Sweeney Todd. On film, Robyn played supporting roles in "The Freemason" (with Sean Astin), Hallmark’s "Love in the Limelight” and "My Christmas Love," and “Code of Honor” (Steven Seagal). She has appeared in national campaigns for Homie, ReBath, and AAA, along with hundreds of commercial and voiceover projects. When Cage’s interest turned to songwriting, she moved back to her native Utah. For her debut album, she collaborated with Grammy-nominated producers Dan Burns (Michelle Branch) and Darryl Neudorf (Sarah McLachlan). "Born in the Desert” topped Music Connection Magazine's Best New Music of 2016. Her sophomore release "Slow The Devil" earned Best Indie Album of 2018 from Scorpius Magazine. Cage's acoustic piano interpretations of famous songs have garnered millions of views, and her cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" went viral on Facebook. Cage's songs can be heard in Tyler Perry's "Nobody's Fool" starring Whoopi Goldberg, "FRIES! The Movie" with Malcolm Gladwell, MTV's "16 and Pregnant," and numerous commercials. Her extensive touring includes international performances with Brit Floyd (“The World's Greatest Pink Floyd Show,” according to Rolling Stone), The Airplane Family (alumni of Jefferson Airplane), and with her own band. Currently, Cage is touring with Brit Floyd and developing her new BLACK FRIDAY musical for the stage. In her free time, she loves skiing, mountain biking, and of course... shopping.
