FringeNYC: Barcode – Location, Tickets, Reviews
From Debbie Andrews and Mike Blaxill of the indie-rock-pop-folk quartet Gladshot, comes Barcode, a rock musical about a dystopian future, in which a single giant corporation dominates the earth. The Huffington Post called an earlier workshop of the show “bubbly” and “fun” and compared it to Green Day’s American Idiot, a vote of confidence by our measure. James Rado, co-author of Hair, serves as a creative consultant to the show, that’s another good sign. You can preview a snippet of the music below. It’s snappy, we like it.

REVIEWS
NYTheatre
The new musical Barcode opened this year’s FringeNYC festival; its intentions are admirable but its creators have not quite brought their ideas to satisfying life.
