Bedbugs!!! infested the festival and here’s what the critics had to say:

“The sci-fi pop rock musical is alive and kicking in Bedbugs!!!, a glitzy, pumped-up new production in the New York Musical Theatre Festival…” -nytheatre.com

“…Leschen and Sauter have created a set of songs with a great deal of cleverness and craft, truly worthy of Madonna in her Material Girl days.” -curtainup.com

“Top to bottom everyone in the ensemble is with the spirit of the material; I haven’t had as much what-a-goof, laugh-out-loud fun at a campy musical since the first time I saw Rocky Horror.
-Just Shows to Go You

“…Celina Carvajal, a redheaded bombshell who made a pit stop on the Legally Blonde reality series. She’s a superstar-in-training…” -theatremania.com

Broadway vet Brian Charles Rooney (The Threepenny Opera) steals the show as Dionne Salon.”
-Halley Bondy of Backstage

“Chris Hall — as a preening, strutting six-foot bedbug you’re likely to remember — is a delicious combination of David Lee Roth and Tim Curry.” -theatremania.com

“The supporting cast is top-notch, as well- each playing a bedbug minion as well as various other roles in some lickety-split costume changes (the costumes by Amanda Bujak and Chris Rumery are giddy and wonderful and generate laughs on their own)” -broadwayworld.com

With Sauter’s burrowing and boisterous book and lyrics, Leschen’s invidiously astute 80s take-off tunes, and such strong performers on hand, BEDBUGS!!! already has almost all the bite it needs.
-Talkin’ Broadway

Paul is prepping the music and rehearsing the band, Robin is coming up with brilliant choreography, Fred and Bobby are turning their attention to raising money and marketing, Shane’s on props and sets, Dans is on lights, Alexis and David are keeping things running smoothly while Sam is putting it all together!

The casting decisions were tough but we chose a wonderful group of actors lead by Celina Carvajal and Brian Charles Rooney. We were all ecstatic to see Amanda and Chris’s awesome costume designs on thursday and can’t wait to see them come to life! Just wait until you see these bugs! A big thanks to Andy Cochran for creating our super-fun website.
