Event Description

When the ultimate Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock-banger came out in 1994 (apologies to The Lake House) Speed was accused of just being Die Hard-on-a-bus, so why the heck wouldn't the team that gave you Die Hard-as-a-musical follow it up with Die Hard-as-a-musical-on-a-bus?

Speed: A Most Excellent Unauthorized Musical Parody brings big action to a little theatre.

Explosions? Check.

A flying bus? Check.

Cops inexplicably shooting other cops? What do you think, hotshot?

All of this is accompanied by parodies of hit songs like "Whoomp, There It Is!," "drivers license," "Hold On," “Crazy Train,” and more.

We guarantee this musical parody will have you saying, "Whoa."

Recommended for Ages 16+
