Monday Night Musicals at the Magnet!
Broadway May Go Dark on Mondays, but the Magnet Theater Is Lighting It Up With Laughs, Lyrics, and the End of the World
“Monday Night Musicals” debuts this May with a bold double-header of original comedies from Tony-winner Greg Kotis and Off-Broadway cult favorite Justin Moran
Though most of Broadway goes dark on Monday nights, the Magnet Theater is flipping the script with an electrifying new series celebrating original, genre-pushing musical comedies. Kicking off in May, the inaugural Monday Night Musicals series features a double bill of two wildly imaginative, socially relevant, and flat-out hilarious new shows: Greg Kotis’ post-apocalyptic bluegrass tale The End of All Flesh and Justin Moran’s sci-fi boy-band survival horror The Algorhythms.
6:30 PM — THE END OF ALL FLESH
From Tony Award-winner Greg Kotis (Urinetown, ZM), comes a twangy, twisted, cautionary parable for our times. Set atop a remote mountain after the fall of civilization, The End of All Flesh follows Ma, Pa, Boy, and Girl as they navigate environmental collapse, evolving gender dynamics, intergenerational angst, enlightenment philosophy, and the high price of survival…in song! Best Musical, New York City Fringe 2025.
- Book, Music & Lyrics by Greg Kotis
- Directed by Avery Rose Pedell
- Music directed by Melody Allegra Berger

8:00 PM — THE ALGORHYTHMS
In the tradition of Little Shop of Horrors and Black Mirror, this sci-fi musical comedy blends boy-band dreams and interplanetary panic into a genre-smashing thrill ride. Written by Justin Moran (POPE! An Epic Musical, Peter, Who?), the show follows three down-on-their-luck math teachers-turned-pop hopefuls whose recording session is interrupted by news of a Martian invasion… and the algorithms that drive society into hysteria.

Whether you’re a die-hard theater nerd, a comedy junkie, or just someone who wants to laugh through the collapse of civilization, Monday Night Musicals offers an unforgettable (and affordable) night out in one of New York’s most adventurous performance spaces.
