episode 9: Lizard Boy and Lydia and the Troll Part 2
In this episode, we continue our discussion with Justin Huertas about his musicals Lizard Boy and Lydia and the Troll.
Lizard Boy
If the world were against you, would you still save it? Trevor feels like a monster. Scaly and green-skinned, he rarely braves the city outside his apartment. When a powerful voice calls to him in a dream, he impulsively finds a date on Grindr, and begins an adventure, beyond his wildest apocalyptic nightmares. Sparks fly in this queer indie rock action romance and pulses with fierce conflict, and fiercer harmonies on its heart pounding journey of self-discovery.
Lydia and the Troll
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.
