*Weird Romance* is a set of two one-act musicals of speculative science
fiction. It features a musical score by Tony, Grammy, and Oscar winning
composer Alan Menken (*Little Shop of Horrors, The Little Mermaid, Beauty &
the Beast, Aladdin, Enchanted, Tangled, Sister Act, Newsies).* It debuted
off-broadway at the WPA Theatre, starring Ellen Greene (of *Little Shop of
Horrors *fame), Johnathan Hardary, Jessica Molaskey, Sal Viviano, and Danny
Burstein. This curious science fiction framework revolves around
traditional themes - the generation gap, a love triangle and the archetypal
conflict between those who have power and those who have none.


In the first act, *The Girl Who Was Plugged In*, we encounter a homeless
bag-lady whose soul is transplanted into the body of a gorgeous female
android by a company which manufactures celebrities. The second act, *Her
Pilgrim Soul*, is about a scientist who researches holographic imaging. One
day a mysterious "living" holograph, apparently a woman long dead, appears
and changes his life forever.
