Show Description:
Starmites is a crowd-pleasing family musical. It is a sci-fi fantasy show with a big heart and big laughs. Starmites has been recently been carefully and lovingly “upgraded” by authors Barry Keating and Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid).
The Story: Shy teenager Eleanor has built a fantasy world around the sci-fi comic books she collects. To the distress of her mother, she has learned to avoid the pains of growing up by escaping into fantasy, imagining herself to be an unrecognized superhero. When she is mysteriously thrust into the Website World of her favorite comic book, Eleanor is drawn into the conflict between Shak Graa, Arch-Creep of Chaos, and the Starmites, guardian angels of Innerspace. She turns out to be the legendary Milady, teen superhero who must lead the Mites on their Quest to save the Galaxy. Standing in her way are a colorful assortment of Bowie-esque villains, including the delightfully flamboyant Diva, Queen of Innerspace and her Banshee warriors – Destiny's Child-ish sirens with a ravenous hunger for Boy Bands. With the help of hip-hop heartthrob Space Punk, Eleanor learns to own up to the inner power she has always denied, defeating her foes and conquering the evil force of the “Cruelty.”
