It is 2366, and Data the Android presents his campy musical adaptation of The Wrath of Khan. In this sci-fi send-up, an older Captain Kirk is experiencing a “coming of middle age” story when his nemesis Khan escapes exile and vows revenge. The ensuing cat-and-mouse game sparks an adventure that includes Vulcan tap dancing, Kirk’s long-lost son (a William Shatner impersonator), and of course… mutant space chickens!
 
According to Greg Ehrhardt, OnStageBlog, here are the reasons “Why Star Trek Fans Should Be Excited for “Khan!!! The Musical!”:
 
It’s centered around the best Star Trek story of the canon
The musical appears to be in good hands with a true Star Trek fan.
It’s gunning for mainstream appeal
…I’m counting down the days.”
