Area 51
Written by Iain Cook, of the band Aereogramme,
Deep in the depths of space, a monstrous evil has awoken, an evil so powerful its influence can reach beyond the stars. In a race against time, Rick Adams, head of Area 51’s top secret scientific research facility, must find a way to halt the alien invasion before all of humanity succumbs to the extraterrestrial onslaught.
Remember Area 51? That western US site outside Roswell, New Mexico and site of the not-so-secret secret US Air Force base is the site for a new rock musical staring Claudia Christian who played Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova on the science fiction series Babylon 5.
Complete with alien overtones, dark glasses a la "Men In Black," motorcycles, "cyber sluts," helicopters, and a doctor co-star, this new show brings back the presence of "The Rocky Horror Show."
