Chicago, IL - April 20, 2008 - Having mined the pop-cinematic/musical landscape of the late 70's with CARPENTERS' HALLOWEEN last October and that of the early 80's with TRAN - THE ATARI MUSICAL this past March, Scooty & JoJo have set their sights on the first significant cinematic fables of Generation X:  the John Hughes teenpics of the mid-80s.  MOLLYWOOD fuses the characters, storylines, and soundtracks of "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", and "Pretty in Pink" into a campy lampoon and love letter to the sacred cows of an entire generation (namely, ours!).  
In our latest "parod-usical" fusion MOLLYWOOD, the ultimate John Hughes muse, Molly Ringwald, is having a bad day.  Her family has totally forgotten her sixteenth birthday, she has no date for the prom, and if things couldn't get any worse, she just got a whole day's detention for passing a note in class.  What's a girl to do?  Sing!
