Club Cumming presented a one-night-only reading of Paul Iacono's Almost Got 'Em! The Unauthorized Batman Villain Parody Musical June 7, and Playbill has the pics to prove it.
Directed by Rachel Klein (The Gospel According to Heather), the work is loosely adapted from the episode of Batman: The Animated Series titled "Almost Got 'Im!"
Almost Got 'Em! follows Batman's most notorious enemies as they exchange stories of who has come the closest to killing their mutual nemesis (while hiding from Batman and the police).
The musical features a book and lyrics by Iacono, with music by Shirely Walker, Danny Elfman, Stuart Balcomb, Wayne Coster, and Todd Hayen. Peter Saxe served as music director, and provided additional arrangements.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
