Here's what they're saying about BOULEVARD X:
"Thank you for inviting me. I enjoyed Boulevard X enormously.
An excellent musical with an excellent book -- which is a rarity
The story is clear with powerful characters...
every song -- perfect lyrics -- advances the plot."
(Mario Fratti, bookwriter, Tony Award-winning musical Nine)
"Boulevard X" is a seriously funny, emotionally engaging blend of
Shakespeare, street smarts, and spicy wit!"
(Herbert Goldman, Theatre Critic)
Synopsis: "BOULEVARD X" is a suspenseful tale
about an ex-gang member who challenges a drug lord,
is tempted by a seductive, murderous ex-girlfriend,
and struggles to reclaim his life, sweetheart, and legacy.
Futuristics make sassy, psychic predictions.
This romantic thriller is spiced with comedy,
inspired by Shakespeare,
full gorgeous melodies and witty lyrics,
and has a compelling story with an uplifting message!
