Thursday, May 31 - Sunday, June 17, 2018
Manhattan at the turn of the Millennium-it's the red-hot center of the exploding new phenomenon of the Internet. Brash young Web pioneers vie to stake their claim. With the sudden new wealth and lavish launch parties, it's the Great Gatsby on steroids. You might think of it as a La La Land for New York. It's got great characters, vivacious original songs and blazing choreography. Most of the cast is made up of, appropriately, Millennials, so the whole project has a youthful, Spring Awakening zing. Its highly hummable numbers include "Manhattanite In The Manhattan Night," "Virtual Virgins" and "Eaten By the Internet."
Cyberbabies is presented by Theater for the New City.

SYNOPSIS: Brash young cyberspace pioneers vie to stake their claim in the great Internet gold rush at the turn of the millennium. Who can devise a website that will mint money? Can the 'net be used for nobler purposes? Production states: "This rollicking youth-oriented satire of New York's Silicon Alley days is like 'The Great Gatsby' on steroids."
