A musical with a classroom full of feuding high school drama society students is a tall order for any actor to perform single-handedly. Throw in song and dance routines based on a story of murderous teen rivalry with nods to the 1950 Hollywood classic All About Eve and you have this tricky solo production.
However much of an outre idea it may be, Luke Bayer meets the feat and flies with it. He plays Desmond Channing, the diva-ish and devilish heir of Bette Davis’s Margo Channing, who is president of a school drama society in Florida. We meet post-death, from the inner circles of hell, as he re-enacts his enmity with Evan Harris – the new drama society kid he once mentored – which led to his death.
