Porn The Musical

Musical Theatre @ George Square    7 - 31 August @ 21.05   

Good morning, Malta! Did you know that everyone in Malta is related? This is the first of many ‘interesting’ factoids in this musical created to reflect the budget porn industry. Amongst other things, we learn what PhD really means, the tensions for Martin Scoresleezy (porno director supremo) and what to do when you find out your fiancée is a whore!

Our protagonist, Stefan, takes us on a colourful journey from his quiet family life in Malta, to racy New York and back again to Malta, transformed into porn star, ‘Steve Bulge’  (yes, really!). Along the way we meet Jade (the aforementioned fiancée), Sanddi (with a double D), Doctor John and numerous other characters, all played with great aplomb by Miscellaneous Man (a hero that almost outshines the protagonist!)

What we have here is sheer, absolute fun… This bursting full package (oo-er!) covers almost every musical genre: from line dancing to Eurovision; from ballad to jazz hands; there’s room for it all in the pastiche that is Porn the Musical – a comic delight driven by a cool (ha – he wishes!) narrator, supported by a great onstage band (most of whom wear t-shirts stating they have PhD’s) and for the most part romps along at a great pace.
