Directions

Detonation Rat Cabaret is a comedic musical odyssey through New York City’s rodent mitigation system. It follows an iconoclastic rat with substance control issues who rises to new professional heights, only to be brought down by the NYC Rat Czar. The show is influenced by Weimar Republic cabaret. Songs span from Hip-Hop, to Cumbia, to Chanson, Reggae and to glittery Bowie Glam Rock.
