Legacy Falls, a new musical about a fictional American daytime soap opera, is to premiere at London's New Players Theatre. It will begin performances Oct. 27, prior to an official opening Oct.29, for a run through Nov. 20.
The new musical that dishes the dirt on daytime soap.
The bitchiness and back-stabbing…
The romances and the hair-pulling cat-fights...
The hirings and firings…
The bikinis and sex scandals…
The tantrums, the deaths...
and a slightly unrealistic earthquake...
Just another week on-screen and off, on America's favourite daytime soap opera, 'LEGACY FALLS'.
Who’s gonna survive the budget cuts?
Will old age and cunning triumph over youth and enthusiasm?
Can love survive a tabloid sting?
And why has somebody's mother suddenly shown up in the middle of the live broadcast?
All will be revealed in the hot new musical comedy,
‘LEGACY FALLS’.Soap is a dirty business!
