JUNK takes place in a near-future urban wasteland run by Junk Incorporated. Anna, a Junk employee, dreams of starting a revolution with her all-girl rock band, the MetroJets. Her ambitions are thwarted when she finds herself torn between her love for the office janitor, who wants to help her escape the drudges of corporate life, and the lecherous advances of her boss, the Junk CEO and owner of the last nightclub in town. Visceral and irreverent, JUNK sets the stage for a populist glam renaissance that will rock the future of musical theater.
“JUNK is, according to director Shakina Nayfack, ‘part social satire, part love story, and part existential allegory.’ It's also an exciting and tuneful rock opera, which has ‘cult hit’ written all over it.” -Steven Stanley, LA Stage Scene
“JUNK: A Rock Opera sounds like the perfect collision of David Bowie, The Who, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, and T. Rex. The songs are so catchy it should be illegal, the production is huge, and the record guaranteed to change your mind about where rock music is going.” -cdbaby.com
