Devil Boys from Beyond

Buddy Thomas’s deliriously campy sci-fi spoof, about a pair of 1950s reporters investigating an invasion of outer-space muscle studs, is very silly and very special. The show opens a fabulous portal back in time to the legendary vintage drag romps of Charles Ludlam and Charles Busch. Directed by Kenneth Elliott, the marvelous actors jab their lewd lines with hat-pin-prick timing—led by Everett Quinton, who gives an astonishing performance as a horny elderly Florida woman.—Adam Feldman
