After a London premiere earlier this year, But I’m a Cheerleader: The Musical returns to The Turbine Theater next month. The race starts on October 7th and continues until November 27th with a gala evening scheduled for October 11th.
The musical features a book and lyrics written by Bill Augustin, music by Andrew Abrams and direction by Tania Azevedo. Jamie Babbit conceived and directed the original film, which featured a screenplay by Brian Wayne Peterson. Casting for the upcoming run will be announced at a later date.
Based on the cult favorite film of the same name, But I’m a Cheerleader follows Megan, an all-American high school cheerleader with a perfect life – until her friends and family reveal that they suspect her of being a lesbian, sending her to True Directions rehabilitation camp to set her straight.
