Lizard Boy

This rock musical fantasy, in which all the actors not only sing but play various instruments as well, was recently a big hit at the Edinburgh Festival and in the US and UK. It follows the story of Trevor, an insecure young man looking for love, who has lizard-like scales for skin due to a freak childhood accident. Because of his odd appearance, he only ventures outside during the annual festival where everyone is dressed up as lizards. On the internet he meets Cary, a young man who accepts him as he is. The two friends encounter a mysterious female singer named Siren, and are propelled into a mythological conflict in which a dragon-filled apocalypse threatens them and the entire world. Along the way, Trevor discovers that he is actually beautiful and has supernatural powers. Expect the unusual from this musical treat that was inspired by works such as X-Men and Spider-Man.
