Weird Romance
by Alan Menken, Alan Brennert, David Spencer
Highlights
Synopsis
This offbeat musical by the composer of Little Shop of Horrors and the Disney films Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid is two one-act musicals of speculative fiction.
The first, The Girl Who Was Plugged In , is about a homeless woman whose soul is transplanted into the body of a gorgeous female android by a company which manufactures celebrities.
The second, Her Pilgrim Soul , is about a scientist who researches holographic imaging.
One day a mysterious “living” holograph, apparently a woman long dead, appears and changes his life forever.
Press Reviews
"Her Pilgrim Soul is so cunningly written and musicalized with such emotional sincerity, I dare any proponent of new age philosophy to resist it."
