It Came From Outer Space is a new rockabilly musical comedy presented in 3D, drawing its inspiration from the 1953 science fiction film. The production is staged by the Segal Centre in the Sylvan Adams Theatre in Montreal, Canada, and runs from February 14 to March 7, 2027.
The story
The musical follows John Putnam, a scientist who claims that aliens have landed in a desert town. The locals dismiss him as a crackpot, and he struggles to make them believe him just as the residents begin to change in strange ways. The show is based on the Universal Pictures film, with a story by Ray Bradbury.
The production
Book and music are by Joe Kinosian, and the book and lyrics are by Kellen Blair. Gordon Greenberg directs, and Chris Barillaro leads the music direction. The team is making its debut at the Segal Centre, and the production comes from a producer whose previous shows include Rent, Six and In the Heights.
