Haunted Hillbilly

This is a country and western musical adaptation of a novel by the same title written by canadian Derek McCormack. Click on the play button to hear my review on CKUT.

In this fantastic and extremely entertaining production, Hyram Woodside (Patrick Costello) is an aspiring singer/song writer who wishes to make it big on the country music scene. One day Nudie (Greg Kramer), a very spooky looking gay couturier offers to design Hyram's costumes, and to turn him into an overnight success. This play questions our moral struggles, as well as traps of wanting fame and adoration.
