Sacred Fools and Richard Elfman Present a New Theatrical Entertainment That Re-Zones the Sixth Dimension - Forbidden Zone: Live in the 6th Dimension

A surreal and bawdy musical dark ride world-premiering on the 30th anniversary of the cult classic film; opening at Sacred Fools Theater in Hollywood in May 2010

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Sacred Fools has allied with renowned filmmaker and artistic firecracker Richard Elfman (Forbidden Zone, Modern Vampires, Shrunken Heads) to create a live theatrical performance based upon his seminal 1980 film that featured the first cinematic score from Danny Elfman. Playwright Michael Holmes has adapted the film of Forbidden Zone for the stage so that the manic energy and impossible happenings can be effectively portrayed in the flesh and accompanied by a full live band that promises to deliver a wild and energetic show every performance. Director Scott Leggett has assembled a production team that is currently reshaping the Sixth Dimension so that it can be contained within the confines of Sacred Fools theater.

Forbidden Zone: Live in the 6th Dimension will feature musical numbers from the original film. The sexy and terrifying adventures of the Hercules family, Queen Doris, King Fausto, Squeezit Henderson and Satan will unfold with new and imaginative impact when the show opens in Hollywood in May of 2010 as the last of the new season of theatrical presentations at Sacred Fools.

The band is currently being assembled and audition announcements will be forthcoming in the new year. A production blog will be open to the public in Q4 of 2009. All updates related to the production, marketing and ticketing information will be berthed at http://www.fz6d.com/

Richard Elfman is the founder of the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, the director of many motion pictures and music videos, loving husband, proud father, and the editor-in-chief of Buzzine (http://www.buzzine.com/). Together with his business partner Jack F. Murphy, Richard Elfman (http://www.richardelfman.com/) is currently consumed by the promotion of the newly colorized version of Forbidden Zone (http://www.forbiddenzonethemovie.com/) and the development of Forbidden Zone 2: The Forbidden Galaxy.

The Sacred Fools Theater is dedicated to creating and fostering a dynamic, empowered artistic community in Los Angeles. Notable previous productions include the musical comedy Beaverquest!, the ongoing late-night episodic extravaganza Serial Killers and the award-winning musical Louis & Keely. Run solely by the ensembled artists, the company is set to launch its 13th season, and continues its ongoing commitment to the development of new plays and projects which challenge traditional expectations of the theatrical experience. Its goal is to produce work which invigorates, enlightens and entertains.

Licensing of the stage play is by arrangement through F Z Distribution, LLC.
