Henchmen
About
KAPOW!!! It’s the glory age of comic book heroism and hedonism, and a never-ending slew of supervillainous schemes are reliably met by casts of shiny, fresh-faced heroes. There is always a runaway train to stop and a mayor’s wife to save.But with evil masterminds so occupied by cat-petting and speech-giving, it raises the question: who’s actually cutting the brakes and tying the ropes?
Henchmen is a snappy, cartoon-esque musical adventure, shedding a theatrical spotlight on superhero stories’ most overlooked players. Interweaving a big band, villain song-worthy score with comic-book playfulness, this show is excited to throw this ragtag bunch of unsung underlings headfirst into their own story: whether they’re ready for it or not.
This show contains:
Murder
Death
Fire-related death
Simulated violence and fighting
Sexual references
Use of guns and weapons
Use of flashing lights
Use of loud and/or unexpected sounds
Use of theatrical haze
