The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) has announced the first 12 musicals selected for its 5th year. They include –
* About Face - book and lyrics by David Arthur and music by Jeffrey Lodin - Suggested by Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and set amid the sexually charged hijinks of a mid-1950s college campus, this rollicking, romantic comedy finds Coach Benedick and English Literature Professor Beatrice Stanton waging their "merry war of wits.”
* Bedbugs!! The Musical - book and lyrics by Fred Sauter and music by Paul Leschen - A hell-bent exterminator must save New York City from the mutant bedbugs she accidentally creates in this 80's inspired rock musical fantasy.
* Fucking Up Everything: The Musical - book, music and lyrics by Eric Davis – [No, this is not a musical about the George W Bush presidency! - rdf] What’s the difference between fucking up everything and getting everything you ever fucking wanted? Find out in this boy-meets-girl comedy of errors packed with nasty lyrics, tasty hooks and a dash of punk rock.
