| UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD, THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF L.A., PRESENTS “CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON-A RAGING ROCKIN’ SHOW,” A HIP, MUSICAL ADAPTATION OF UNIVERSAL’S HORROR CLASSIC |
Universal City, California-Universal Studios Hollywood introduces “Creature from The Black Lagoon-A Raging Rockin’ Show,” featuring an all-original score and dazzling Broadway-level production values in a hip, musical stage adaptation of the Universal horror classic, opening exclusively at The Entertainment Capital of L.A. on July 1.
The new musical attraction has an approximate 25 minute running time and a storyline that
has been updated from the original screenplay to infuse romance and comic relief with extravagant
stagecraft, acrobatic choreography and a hilarious and contemporary musical score certain to keep
the production moving at a sizzling pace.
Audiences will be immersed within a menacing Amazon environment, completely enveloped
by the exotic sounds of the jungle as they watch the twisted love story between beauty and beast
unfold. From the production’s first moments, guests will be thrust into an unexpectedly outrageous,
bizarrely romantic, melodic and often outlandishly comic adventure as this monster classic is
re-imagined for the 21st Century.
