Based on the novel by Manuel Puig, "Kiss of the Spider Woman"

revamps a tale of persecution into a spectacle that juxtaposes

gritty realities with liberating fantasies. Thrown together in a Latin

American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary being tortured

for political information and Molina is serving eight years for

deviant behavior. Molina shares his fantasies about a movie

actress, Aurora, with Valentin to help him mentally escape

prison horrors - one in particular - is her role as a Spider

Woman who kills with a kiss. Two unlikely cellmates, Valentine

and Molina play cat-and-mouse as they struggle to survive.

Joshua joined this Ovation Award Winning cast as the Standby

Cover for Valentine. Director Nick DeGruccio and

Choreographer Lee Martino created an intimate chamber piece

of this brilliant musical, accompanied by a live six-member

orchestra, bringing the action of the show literally close enough

to touch.
