This "Star Trek story with a rock-n-roll heart" is the long-running winner of London's Olivier Award for Best Musical, comparable to Broadway's Tony Award. The show blasts off on a routine flight, but crash lands on the planet D'Illyria where a sci fi, trekky musical of The Tempest, set to rock and roll golden oldies unfolds with glee. The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero, his delightful daughter Miranda (a "Teenager in Love"), Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates, and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero's Id, whose tentacles penetrate the space craft.
