Bushwick Starr presents world premiere of ‘Gooey’s Toxic Aquatic Adventure’ puppet musical

The Bushwick Starr will present the world premiere of “Gooey’s Toxic Aquatic Adventure,” a new puppet musical by Bushwick native La Daniella with music by Ben Langhorst and directed by Sammy Zeisel. Performances begin Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the theater’s location at 419 Eldert Street.

The production tells the story of a community of mermaids dealing with gentrification and explores themes of belonging and resistance against capitalist forces, according to The Bushwick Starr’s announcement. La Daniella, who appeared in Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” created the work as a reflection of the changing landscape of New York City.
