The Eleventh Hour!

It’s the end of the world as we know it and a burn-
out basement rock and roller, his ex-girlfriend, a
rising star astrophysicist, just might have the key to
surviving the black hole bearing down on the Earth.
That’s the premise behind The
Eleventh Hour!, a new sci-fi musi-
cal comedy by Rutgers Universi-
ty alum David Seamon, which is
running at Town Stages in New
York City through June 27th.
Chronicling the fabled New
Brunswick basement music
scene during the apocalypse,
the play also features a commit-
ted performer from Medieval
Times, a giant snake, cannibals, a
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 47
group of mole people, and Neil
DeGrasse Tyson. And it takes
place with the end of the world
just about 12 hours away.
The idea behind the play be-
gan as a 15 minute musical
created for coLAB Arts’ first 48
Hour Musical. In the challenge,
teams of playwrights, directors,
and musicians have two days to
write, rehearse, and then mount
an original musical in response
