It Came From Outer Space

Extended by popular demand! Audiences and critics alike are over the moon for this new musical comedy adapted from the ‘50s cult classic sci-fi film from Universal Pictures. Amateur astronomer John Putnam encounters an alien spaceship in the desert and becomes the laughingstock of his small town—until the extraterrestrial visitors make their presence known and chaos ensues. A clever musical score and creative physical humor puts a new spin on Ray Bradbury’s flying saucer tale, examining society’s fear of outsiders as it simultaneously embraces the wonder of what lies just beyond the stars.
