Wanna see a theatrical ‘Disaster?’ We’ve got a recommendation
In the 1970s, disaster movies were da bomb… sometimes literally. Earthquakes, tidal waves, hotel fires, bees, bombers and volcanoes were everywhere. Queer pals Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick loved those films as only gay men can and came up with Disaster!, a musical send-up of the genre. Onstage in Bedford delivers the regional premiere of the show, starting this weekend.

The hotly-anticipated show by partners Douglas Carter Beane and Lewis Flinn is set in a barn, while 12 troubadours put on a seemingly impromptu show about the hero of Sherwood Forest. It’s in previews through July 6.
