Pop Off, Michelangelo!
Pop Off, Michelangelo! Is the world premier musical comedy about besties turned bitter rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
After realizing they're both gay, the two childhood friends attempt to earn divine forgiveness by becoming the greatest religious artists of all time. Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo shut up about his helicopter? With an electropop original score as infectious as the bubonic plague, and a script that has not been remotely fact-checked, this brand new Renaissance adventure is both hilarious and unhinged.
