Perez Hilton Saves the Universe (or at least the greater Los Angeles area): the Musical! is an original musical with book by Randy Blair and Timothy Michael Drucker, lyrics by Randy Blair, and music by Zachary Redler. The show, according to press materials, "follows a normal day in the life of celebrity gossip blogger, Perez Hilton. Well, were it not for the evil plans of Islamic terrorists. And Kathy Griffin. Throughout the course of the evening, Perez must deal with the demons of love, ego, and celebrity, all whilst saving LA from imminent nuclear disaster. With a pop-infused score and dozens of celebrity impersonations, "Perez Hilton... the Musical!" reveals the inner workings of a society obsessed with itself. Oh, and it's kinda funny."
"Perez..." premiered to much advanced buzz at the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival in New York City, with direction and choreography by Connor Gallagher. The sold-out musical was then moved to the Barrow Street Theatre and extended as part of the Fringe Encores series, which features the most popular of the Fringe's yearly offerings.
The production was awarded Outstanding Musical of the 2008 Fringe season.
