“Lustily Ever After: The Musical.”

The show opens with the Beta book club meeting to discuss their latest spicy read — as the characters come to life and reenact the story.

Lustily Ever After is a musical that parodies the romance and romantasy (a hybrid of romance and fantasy) genres.

Beautiful Riley leads an ordinary life, working in a bookstore. After an early heartbreak, she’s sworn off men, bonding with her best friend Kim and her little kitten.

Things are about to change when Riley is seduced by the most handsome, most accomplished, wealthiest man in the world, Tristan. After Tristan apparently abandons her, Riley enters a mystical portal in a glowing book and finds herself called upon to heroically rescue a fantasy realm from the clutches of an evil queen.

Will Riley ever be reunited with her true love? Will she find her way back to her kitten and her bestie? Will she earn her happily-ever-after?

Directed and choreographed by Jenni Barber. Book, music and lyrics by Stephanie Bentley.
