(All Ticket Sales Final) Bard Theatre brings to stage the Rock Opera created by the ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILLY gang... THE NIGHTMAN COMETH. Yes, it is ridiculous. And ridiculously good. DIRECTED BY Sabrina Spalding PERFORMED BY Charlie: Lee Stein Dennis: Jacob Cooper Dee: Meghan Logue Holland Frank: Joey Eberling Waitress: Sabrina Spalding Artemis: Magnolia Hensley Charlie is excited, and he tells the crew: he's written a musical. The gang squabble over which parts to play. Initially, Mac is excited to play The Dayman, but Dennis gets him to trade parts. Frank is cast as the troll; Dee, the princess. Dee is concerned over the subject matter of her song's lyrics, contending they sound like she molests children with a rusty fork. Charlie also tries in vain to get Frank to say "boy's soul" rather than "boy's hole" in his song. Charlie seeks out "the waitress", gives her a ticket, and tells her that he will never bother her again if she attends the show. On the night of the show, the gang is excited to perform for an audience. However, some drama ensues when Dee ad-libs a song clarifying that she's not interested in children, much to Charlie's chagrin. Mac gets laughs when he comes on stage as The Nightman, much to his dismay. The Troll sings to The Nightman that he has to pay the Troll Toll to get the boy's soul, although Frank's pronunciation results in him saying "hole" instead of "soul." Dennis transforms into the Dayman and kills the Troll. The Dayman fights the Nightman and pulls his heart out. The remaining cast members then join together for an ensemble reprise of "Dayman." Recommended for ages 18 and up. THIS PLAY CONTAINS LANGUAGE, MENTIONS OF RAPE, AND OTHER SITUATIONS THAT MAY OFFEND SOME.
