It's time to be the best you you can be—and go inside the opening night of the new musical Lizard Boy, which opened Off-Broadway June 14 after beginning performances June 1 at Prospect Theater Company. See photos from the opening night in the gallery below.
Following Trevor, a man who has lizard skin due to an unusual childhood incident, the musical takes audiences on his journey of finding acceptance and empowerment as he goes on a Grindr date, encounters an old classmate, and is pushed to be a hero—for himself and the world.
With a book, music and lyrics by Justin Huertas, the production features original stars Huertas, Kiki deLohr, and William A. Williams. Understudies include Kai An Chee (Mr. Holland’s Opus), Milo J. Marami (A Chorus Line), and Jacob Ryan Smith (Hamster & Gretel).
