Helldrivers of Daytona: The New Speedway Rock Musical

From the award-winning creative minds of composer BertonAverre, writer Mark Saltzman and lyricist Rob Meurer, Helldrivers of Daytona puts the pedal to the metal in this NASCAR musical where tensions race and drivers compete for the top slot in the 1965 Daytona Speedway Jackpot 500. Amidst a sea of tanned surfers, speedway groupies, motorheads and bikinis, Lucky Stubbs must find a way to win his dream girl, Pepper Johnson, from rival driver Count Porcini Portobello, a dangerously enticing European hotshot. The race for love and glory is on in this spoof of 1960s rock n’ roll movies that’s fast, furious and funny. The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance brings Broadway talent to Austin with the newly developed rock musical, Helldrivers of Daytona, for a free workshop performance.

The performance is free and open to the public. Helldrivers of Daytona contains mature content and is not recommended for young audiences. The running time is approximately two hours and fifteen minutes.
