One Hit Wonder
2003 New York International Fringe Festival
Written by: Ben Medley
Musical Arrangements by Mike Shaieb and Brent Lord
Directed by Dan Rigazzi
One Hit Wonder is a 90 minute pop-musical comedy best described as the theatrical lovechild of Showgirls, Beautiful Thing and Hedwig. Star-struck Jack Harmony wins Video Dance Television’s “Be a Star” contest and gets sucked into the outrageous world of pop sensation Sexxx Machine. Jack’s lovelorn best friend and conservative parents worry that he will be tempted by Sexx Machine's deviant rock 'n' roll lifestyle and, sure enough, their worst fears come true!

The Cockroach Show
1997, Soho Rep, HERE and Nada
Written by Raquel Hecker and Ben Medley
“Actors are like cockroaches, they just won’t die.”
In the show that started it all, Ben and Raquel play giant singing cockroaches teaching children to just say “no” to drugs. Humiliated by the costumes and bad script, Ben convinces Raquel to ditch the children’s show and start doing what they have always wanted: to act. What was intended to shine soon begins to stink as Ben and Raquel’s fierce competition and need for attention takes over.
