Club Cumming will present a one-night-only reading of Paul Iacono’s Almost Got ‘Em! The Unauthorized Batman Villain Parody Musical June 7 at 8 PM. Directed by Rachel Klein (The Gospel According to Heather), the work is loosely adapted from the episode of Batman: The Animated Series titled “Almost Got ‘Im!”

The cast includes Marc Kudisch as The Joker, Alison Fraser as Poison Ivy, Brooks Ashmanskas as The Penguin, Howard McGillin as Two-Face, Paul Iacono as The Riddler, Alexa Xioufaridou Moster as Harley Quinn, Doug Plaut as The Goon, Barrett Leddy as The Hoodlum, and Jim Walton as Batman. 

Almost Got ‘Em! tells the story of Batman’s most notorious enemies (The Joker, Two-Face, The Penguin and Poison Ivy) exchanging stories and fighting over who's come the closest to killing their mutual nemesis, while hiding from Batman and the police. Set in a dive bar in Gotham City, this darkly comedic musical follows these infamous, aging criminals as they reminisce about their past encounters with the Dark Knight, each one trying to outdo the rest in a high-stakes game of one-upmanship with lots of deadly twists and turns.

The musical features a book and lyrics by Iacono, with music by Shirely Walker, Danny Elfman, Stuart Balcomb, Wayne Coster, and Todd Hayen. Peter Saxe will serve as music director, and provides additional arrangements.
