Boys Who Tricked Me Ben Bonnema
About This Show
Called ‘‘heart-healing musical theatre’’ by Joshua Barone of The New York Times, Boys Who Tricked Me is a song-cycle, party-game, sleepover-style musical. It was previously workshopped at the Musical Theatre Factory and features songs of love gone wrong, lust gone right, and that nagging fear that you will die alone. Grab a drink, snuggle up to the stranger next to you, and spend the night in your parent’s basement with all the gay best friends you never knew you had.
On July 29, Dixon Place will present a concert reading of Boys Who Tricked Me.
