Trevor doesn’t get out much—but tonight, everything changes. What starts as a first date turns into an unexpected adventure in this funny, offbeat, and deeply moving new musical. Featuring a genre-blending indie-rock score and three Drama Desk nominations, Lizard Boy is a heartfelt and wildly inventive coming-of-age story about self-acceptance, connection, and becoming the hero of your own life.

Lizard Boy: A NEW MUSICAL

Calderwood Pavilion

Lydia is struggling to find her voice. As a Black woman on the brink of breaking through the music industry, her dreams of being a record producer feel just out of her reach. But when a mysterious stranger offers her a chance to level up, Lydia embarks on a thrilling journey of self-discovery to take back what is hers. Inspired by the fantasy and folklore of Seattle’s landmarks, playwright and composer Justin Huertas (Lizard Boy) conjures up fresh Pacific Northwest magic through a riveting electronic/pop score and multi-media landscape in this world-premiere musical.
