HAGS The Musical
Comedic Theatre - H.A.G.S. - Ages 14+ - 1hr
The comedic play follows 14-year-olds April and Dylan as they attend a theater camp in 2010 – the summer before high school. They each have big dreams. For Dylan, it's to finally become a big famous actor. For April, it's to finally kiss a boy and maybe fall in love and maybe eventually get married. But when they both fall for the same 14-year-old hunk (aka a boy with the famous Bieber cut and purple skinny jeans), April decides to turn to the fastest means of getting a boy like him to love a girl like her: witchcraft. She casts a love spell which consequently backfires — or so they think — when the camp's crushes intermingle, secrets are exposed, friendships fray, and “Hey There Delilah” is soul-crushing. It's a theater camp full of ***** teens, after all. In the end, April and Dylan reach the understanding that their friendship provides the love that they've been searching for.
“H.A.G.S. The Musical” is a love letter to the early 2000s where I <3 Boobies bracelets were the height of fashion and Ke$ha was the new IT Girl. The show is full of cultural references and performances of long-forgotten songs that will have audience members of any age remembering the adolescent naivety of first loves.
