The Trees

Andrew Siddle (Music & Lyrics) & Joe York (Book & Lyrics)

The Trees is a rock horror musical comedy set in the fictional American town of Treelapia, a town obsessed with trees. This year's annual Arbor Day festival goes awry when all of the town's new trees turn into mutant killer monsters. It's up to local tour guide Bobby and a group of mismatched friends including a Satanist scout master and Paula Deen to save the town from the trees and their creator, evil Norwegian town botanist, Dr. Cornelius CøckBälls! With a score that takes influences from Queen, Meat Loaf and The Who, this show is just like Hitchcock's The Birds...but with trees!
