Hi, fun fact, I have not listened to it. Hell, I haven’t even heard of it. So this first recommendation is gonna be FUN.
After reading a quick synopsis, I have come up with some recommendations (all of which I have not listened to and totally basing this off of what I know from these musicals, which is not alot).
When I read the synopsis for Lizard Boy, I immediately went “Be More Chill”, not one my personal faves (but that’s also to do with the fanbase. and i’m just not a fan of the music which is fine). But many people think it’s great, and it has George Salazar!!!!! And is written by Joe Iconis (who also wrote TLT)!!!!!! this musical follows either one or two high school boys who idk struggle with social life until this weird magical Squip thing comes along which is like a computer in their brain that makes them super duper mega cool. Things probably go wrong at some point because what would a story be without its drame
Another musical i want to recommend that touches on the weird horror, mutant, comical aspect of Lizard Boy: Little Shop of Horrors. A dark comedy featuring a man eating plant with I think a rock score. Haven’t listened to it yet, but reading the synopsis it gave me the same vibe as Lizard Boy. Plus, it’s a man eating plant! who doesn’t like that!
And this next musical I have actually listened to (ikr) and though the story or plot or any of the elements is not at ALL like Lizard Boy, it does feature a somewhat indie rock score (i think it’s officially a rock opera) so if you want another rock musical, may I recommend: SIX. SIX is a West-End based musical in which 6 women rant about their husband. I should probably say they had the same husband, and that this husband is none other than …. HENRY THE VIII. yeah, it’s a musical about Henry’s famous six wives, told from their perspective and it is absolutely awesome. Killer vocals, killer songs and the 6 most supportive women you will ever meet, which is funny because they all dated the same man. Definitely worth listening to in general, this musical is what feminism should be.
Send me a musical and I’ll tell you what to listen to!
