Show Overview
The raunchy hockey romance parody goes live on stage.
Heated Rivalry: The Musical Parody! is a live musical comedy send-up of a beloved queer hockey romance, reimagining the story of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov as a fast, scrappy stage spectacle. On the ice, they are sworn rivals. Off the ice, their connection becomes harder and harder to ignore.
Meanwhile, another romance unfolds between hockey star Scott Hunter and local smoothie barista Kip Grady, while an eccentric supporting cast of commentators, parents, intimacy coordinators, and assorted chaos agents fills out the world around them. Blending affectionate parody with original songs, theatrical mayhem, and a full ensemble, the show expands the world of Heated Rivalry into an outrageous musical comedy event.
Created by Quick & Funny Musicals, the longtime Upright Citizens Brigade Los Angeles musical comedy team, Heated Rivalry: The Musical Parody! has played sold-out performances in Los Angeles and now heads to the Edinburgh Fringe at Gilded Balloon Patter House .
