Spandex the Musical

Lorraine Stubenski was the favorite to lead the U.S. gymnastics team in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, but something went terribly wrong.   20 years later, in a society of budding conference call technology, changing roles in the home, and a new sport fist-pumping its way across the nation, Lorraine must face her inner demons, as well as a psychotic fitness king, in the only place they may be vulnerable: the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship, hosted by Alan Thicke.

Born when Annie Grunow approached Daniel Levin with-the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship hosted by Alan Thicke, and asked "How is this not already a musical?" the show was first produced Off-Broadway in 2013 in a partnership with Crunch Fitness.  In 2017 it bounced to Minneapolis, in 2021 during the pandemic was turned into an Audio Musical for Musical Theatre Radio, and in 2023 its music video, "My Body is My Temple" by the Dad Bods was an official selection at the NY Indie Theatre Film Festival, the Copenhagen Film Festival, and the Paris Film Awards, where it took home "Best Original Song."  Now, get ready for an announcement about 2026.... like check back SOON!
