Overview
A nytimes Critic's Pick playing through June 1 only!
In 2006, The New York Post infamously labeled Paris, Lindsay and Britney “The Three Bimbos of the Apocalypse.” But who is the fourth girl in that famous photo? Today, three Gen Z internet sleuths investigate that icon – Coco, an early 2000’s one-hit wonder who mysteriously vanished. Their epic musical quest leads them to uncover the truth, deliver justice and rewrite pop history.

What Critics are Saying:
“A deliciously fizzy new musical. ‘Bimbo’ traverses the gap between the very online and the very not online with exuberant intelligence.” - Rhoda Feng - The New York Times
“THAT'S HOT” - Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast
“★★★★★ The entire ensemble cast is on fire, with powerhouse vocals and a raft of delectable dance pop bops with razor sharp lyrics that had me hanging on every word.” - James Kleinmann, The Queer Review
“A Musical Collision of Pop Trash and True Crime” - Zachary Stewart, Theatermania
“Wrapped in a fake couture fur of Y2K nostalgia, The Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse transforms yesterday’s tabloid into an excavation of celebrity obsession and Gen Z social media-fueled social anxiety.” - Matthew Wexler, 1 Minute Critic
“I was SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. AND YES, I KNOW I’M TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Do not sleep on this show.” - James Kleinmann, The Queer Review
