The LA Opera House is running a production of The Fly.
Yes, you read that correctly. The sci-fi classic first made in 1958, and remade in 1986.
To refresh your memory of the story:
Researcher Seth Brundle makes a stunning breakthrough in the field of matter transportation when he successfully teleports a living creature. Frustrated in his budding romance with a scientific journalist, and in need of a human subject, he recklessly attempts to teleport himself. An unseen fly enters the transmission booth as well, however, and Brundle soon realizes that his experiment has had “mixed” results.
They even have David Cronenberg on board as the director! There’s ONE day left of the performance when I get to LA this month.
And just for fun, Music for Maniacs recently posted about the production, along with some free fly-related song downloads.
[UPDATE] Got my tickets!

PLEASE see this for me! I only wish I could be there to hear and see Seth Brundle’s mutant form sing something equivalent to “it’s not easy being a Musca domestica”
Hi, this is Mr Fab from Music For Maniacs. Thanks for the mention. Been looking thru your blog and really dig it – one of the best art blogs I’ve seen.
Don’t know how long you’ll be here in LA, but check out The Museum of Jurassic Technology, the La Luz de Jesus gallery, and the California Institute of AbnormalArts (the CIA). You probably know about ’em already, but just in case ya didn’t…
