Pulp Fiction, the Musical Parody

Written by

Based on the smash 1994 Quentin Tarantino film, “Pulp Fiction, the Musical Parody” is chock full of all the things you want in a musical: blood, guts, violence,  non-linear storytelling, sex, drugs, fixed fights, dead body disposal, the gimp, a mysterious briefcase and a wristwatch that makes a dark journey down through the generations.

Hot on the heels of annual fan-favorite “Die Hard, the Musical Parody”, this show promises to bring that same twisted Funhouse sense of humor, courtesy of writer/director Andy Barrett and composer/musical director James Liptak. 

Featuring Portland treasures Landy Lamb, Sean Ryan Lamb, James R. Dixon, Sara King, Kristin Barrett, Bethany Ziskind, and Bill Christensen.

Heathers

Funhouse Lounge presents Heathers, the Musical

Westerberg High is terrorized by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place—six feet under. 

Join us for Funhouse Lounge’s summer blockbuster, the off-Broadway smash Heathers, the Musical.  Based on the hit 1989 film, this show has it all: croquet, bullying, knee socks, Drano, toxic masculinity, slushies and teen suicide. It’s a slick, sick, jet-black burst of high school hilarity.

 It’ll be so very. 

*Contains adult language and themes*

Dates & showtimes: Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:00 pm, June 20-July 13th. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
Tickets are $25 online / $30 CASH at the door.
