Dear Nick / Jon
I have been a fan of Nick's publications and your collective investigations for a while. I thought you may perhaps both be interested (especially given Jon's musical background) in one of my creations: the sci-fi rock musical Area 51. Area 51 will be playing the 1,000-seat Hippodrome Circus Theatre in Great Yarmouth in the UK this June. Please find attached press and current poster for the show. I know that you guys tend to be all over the globe on various adventures but I have been an admirer of your work for some time and thought it would be nice to have someone from the field the show affectionately parodies to attend the East Anglia premiere. Should you be too busy then may I simply wish you all the best for the future.

"The weirdest musical since the Rocky Horror Show first stormed the stage" - SFX Magazine
“Aliens meets MTV in this rollercoaster of a musical… a feel-good show that left the auditorium electric and the audience on their feet roaring for more”
UFO Magazine
“Nothing in recent years has felt so fresh and new to me than the concept album of the new musical Area 51... this is exactly the fresh breeze musical theatre needs right now... If you're looking for something fresh and totally different from the mainstream offerings of the West End, then look no further... could be what Cats was twenty years ago – something that simply dares to be completely different and groundbreaking, and could very well become a cult show of Rocky Horror Show-calibre.“ Musical Stages Online
“Filled with sly verbal and melodic allusions to popular movie and television standards, Area 51 is a bright and breezy romp that combines classic genre story elements with modern-day alien mythology and a lively rock 'n' roll attitude… Then We Met Like This, the show-stopping tune, with voices soaring over gorgeous strings and keyboards…dynamic, the recording presents a tantalizing taste of the tale’s inherent energy and excitement.”
Sci-Fi Channel Online
“Really catchy numbers… this really rocks… Stranger than Fiction and Greys are Givin’ Us the Blues are fantastic…”
Dreamwatch Magazine
“Something performers will enjoy appearing in as much as audiences will attending. Great fun!”
George Stiles (Olivier Winner, Best Musical, “Honk!” & named by the Stage Newspaper as “British musical theatre’s great hope”)
Recently listed by Sci-Fi Wire, official website of the Sci-Fi Channel in the top 20 Science Fiction and Fantasy musicals of all time, alongside Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", "The Rocky Horror Show" and "Wicked".
