Missing your regular fix of Megan Mullally during Lockdown? Well, worry not help is at hand. She and her actor hubby Nick Offerman are about to give a rare peek behind the curtain of Iceboy!, the hilarious and irreverent new musical from the co-creators of the Broadway hits The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Urinetown: The Musical.
Iceboy! tells the absolutely untrue story of a 10,000-year-old Neanderthal who’s discovered frozen in the Arctic, brought to New York, and adopted by Vera Vimm (Mullally) the biggest Broadway star of 1938. But once thawed, Iceboy becomes an acting sensation whose talents threaten to upstage the once mighty Vera. It’s All About Eve if only Eve were a caveman.
