Does everybody really want to be famous? How far would you go for fame? Alexandra Lean Productions presents NOBODY’S IDOL, a fun, fast-paced musical created by Alexandra Lean, playing July 4-13, 2013 at the Randolph Theatre as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival. Come and spend 90 minutes with Fame as he hosts the singing competition where he is the grand prize.A lifetime of fame. That’s the guarantee for the grand prize winner in NOBODY’S IDOL, an irreverent musical parody that dives into the conflict between the “nobodies” and “somebodies” of our pop-culture world. Inspired by this magical promise, misfits and wannabes duel with their voices at the world’s biggest televised competition. From pop to hip-hop to rock n’ roll, this new musical bursts onto the Toronto scene with gorgeous voices, great dance numbers and a twisted plot that will pin you to your seat – who will have it all? In a world divided between “somebodies” and “nobodies”, who is judging whom?
