Zombies from the Beyond
James Valcq
Flying Saucers!
Backstabbing Bitches!
Muscle Hunks and Men in Pumps!
Wake up and smell the alien invasion in this outrageous comedy by the author of the smash off-Broadway hit play The Crumple Zone .
"Be ready to laugh... a cross-dressing comedy that puts a fresh coat of over-the-top on 1950's sci-fi flicks... Devilishly clever."
— New York Daily News
"Two shirtless hunks, four fabulous drag queens, and 90 minutes' worth of high-camp comedy: What more could a fan of ultraridiculous theatrics want? Devil Boys is a devilish delight."
— Backstage
"What's funnier than a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist investigating reports of flying saucers in the mysterious swamplands of Lizard Lick, Florida—the hickest hick-town in all of America? Not much! Unless, perhaps, you cast a man in drag, add a boozing ex-husband, a nemesis/rival reporter, to boot! Mix in clever one-liners, a candy-colored design, and enough boy-toy eye-candy to fill a giant's Halloween sack, and you've got one hell of a show! You might want see it twice. I missed some lines, here and there, as I was still belly-laughing from some previous ones."

"You can tell from the title that Devil Boys From Beyond intends to be fun, and the campy production does not disappoint.... a satiric, raunchy spoof that any generation will enjoy."
— Associated Press
"The Fringe Festival usually throws up a couple of shows you can bank on, and Devil Boys From Beyond, a sci-fi campfest by Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott, performs that service here."
— Variety
