In The Testament of Josh, a new rock musical by comedy writer and humorist Brian Boone (The New Yorker, McSweeney’s) and composer Julián Mesri, a small – and very Christian – American town plays host to a mysterious young stranger who just might be the second coming of Christ.
As the town’s teenagers incorporate the newcomer, Josh, into their midst, and the church elders scheme for him to play a leading role in their gory annual Easter Pageant, the reincarnated teenage Messiah is struggling with some zombie tendencies that seem to have followed him back from the grave.
