Synopsis:
Coming: A Rock Musical of Biblical Proportions” follows the stories of two men. The first is Damian Salt, an openly bisexual, avowed atheist glam icon who just so happens to be the antichrist. The second is emerging teenage pop sensation Joshua Crenshaw, a native of Bethlehem, PA. After taking the spotlight in the “American Icon” singing competition, the deeply religious Joshua learns that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ. When Christ and Antichrist meet, opposites attract, and their relationship plays out amidst a paparazzi obsessed spotlight, fueled by a pop rock score that evokes David Bowie and Lady Gaga. All of this is paired with an irreverent, theologically flecked book.
