Cotton Candy and Cocaine! A New Musical

Cotton Candy and Cocaine takes place in Las Vegas's hottest up-and-coming attraction - Tad Park's Vegas, a glitzy commercial avenue a mile past the renowned Strip. Meet the waiters, bartenders, drag queens, buskers, former prostitutes, costumed characters and others who live to entertain us in this 360-surround experience that pits the denizens of the old Las Vegas against the newcomers who want to revitalize their neighborhood -- all while giving us the time of our lives. Its Old Guard vs. New Guard in this electro-pop musical/dance/libation-lathered party that invites us to join in the fun and be swept up in the sex, dirt and glitter that is Vegas on vacation.

Theatre C's presentation of Cotton Candy and Cocaine is a beta-test (read "barebones workshop") of the full show, which is housed at The Plaxall Gallery, a 12,000 square foot warehouse space that has been generously donated by Plaxall Inc, and converted into an art gallery by Long Island City Artists, Inc. The audience will enter an immersive space while occasionally moving about the space, sitting at tables, being served wine, beer, and all the cheese doodles and cotton candy they can eat -- all while being part of the story.
