Bedbugs!!! A New Musical From Paul Leschen

Paul Leschen, who was briefly OTBKB’s fabulous Brooklyn restaurant critic has resurfaced wearing his musical theater hat. To read his posts go here.

Sorry we’ve been out of touch so long. I still check in on OTBKB now and then. I’m really sorry to read about your father.

Things
are going OK on this end, I guess…I don’t do food writing anymore
(though I’m tempted to try) since food blogs and Yelp! seem to have
killed that art form. But I’m working in the musical theatre world, and
it’s been great.

I’d like to invite you to see my new rock musical, Bedbugs!!!. It’s
about a female exterminator who accidentally mutates NYC’s bedbugs into
blood-thirsty 80’s hair metal rock gods. It also weaves in themes of
fear, neurosis, and the need to rid ourselves of the noxious forces
which creep into our hypothetical beds (Bush, bad relationships, etc.)

The show is part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) and opens on Tuesday, September 16th.

So, if you’re up to it, I’d love for you to come see the show. Our website is bedbugsmusical.com
