Club Cumming will present a staged reading of Paul Iacono and Marc Kudisch’s new second act of their Unauthorized Batman Parody Musical, Gotham Rogues (formerly Almost Got 'Em!), for one night only December 12.
The musical, directed by Rachel Klein (High Priest, The Gospel According to Heather, Grindr: The Opera), has book and lyrics by Iacono, with additional material by Marc Kudisch and Barrett Leddy. Music direction and arrangements are by Peter Saxe. With music by Shirley Walker, Danny Elfman, Lolita Ritmanis, and Harvey R. Cohen, the show is loosely adapted from the Batman the Animated Series episode “The Trial,” written by Paul Dini. Poster art is by Scott Lilly.
The reading will star Kudisch as The Joker, Alison Fraser as Poison Ivy, Taylor Trensch as The Penguin/Nightwing, Terence Archie as Two-Face, Bill Sage as Batman, Alexa Xioufaridou Moster as Harley Quinn, Doug Plaut as Mr. Freeze/Commissioner Gordon, Leddy as The Mad Hatter/Chief O’Hara, and Iacono as The Riddler.
While act one 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), act two centers on the trial of Batman as dramatic testimonies are offered by Gothams villains, each revealing their complex relationship with the Dark Knight.
