Part of a double billing with Variety Obit, Welcome to Andromeda takes place in the gloomy book lined bedroom of a paralytic who is celebrating his twenty first birthday

He is being tended by a nurse while his mother is shopping for presents

Alternately taunting and cajoling the nurse and eventually getting her drunk, he endeavors to have her administer a fatal injection

"Taut and tough ... The dialogue is rich and highly charged and the byplay is interesting and sometimes savagely merry" ~ NY Times

Variety Obit - a fanciful musical about an obituary notice in Variety, the weekly theatrical trade publication. Daniel Jefferson, the last remaining member of an American vaudeville family dating back 200 years, has just died

"We are treated in song to the American dream as seen through the eyes of generations of vaudevillians, to the accompaniment of a reading of the terse matter of fact obit" ~ Daily News
