Los Angeles’ summer is heating up, and it’s about to get a whole lot steamier. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if your favorite cinematic universe hit the stage and ditched the PG rating for something a bit more… adult, you’re in luck. The international hit MARVELous: A Risqué Parody is officially making its US debut, and it’s set to take the stage at El Portal Theatre, 5269 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, United States, opening July 27th.
The high-tech production is an outrageously hilarious, unhinged parody of the Marvel Universe. Your favorite superheroes will sing, strip, stunt, stand-up and satire their way through this seductive show.

Ass-vengers Ass-emble! Here’s what to expect from the chaos
After taking Australia by storm with its razor-sharp wit and wild mashups, the MARVELous chaos is now gracing California.
With an unhinged, familiar-sounding narrator – yes, we’re talking about a certain red-suited merc – it’s a dream for pop culture fans. The show reimagines iconic superhero tropes through a lens of raunchy comedy, gravity-defying aerials, stunts, strip and live vocals.
The show offers cheeky, adult-only tributes to iconic cinematic moments, including nods to everything from Dirty Dancing to The Greatest Showman. Every scene is unique and unforgettable, the fantastic rock-infused soundtrack and striking stage design elevating things even further.
Don’t miss the show of the summer
So if you’re looking for a decidedly different night out full of laughs and spectacle, this is your answer! The run is very limited, until August 16th – don’t miss it while it’s in town. MARVELous is bound to sell out fast, so be sure to secure your spot by the stage asap!
