This play has not been authorized or endorsed by Mötley Crüe or any of its members. Crude is a darkly humorous drama starring Ryan Ruffing and Phillip-Charlie Daniell. In the early 1980s a band rose up from the streets of Hollywood to become a cultural phenomenon and for one brief shining moment, all things seemed possible.
“The wait list for the final show of the first run was a dozen deep,” exclaims director David Lucarelli. We’re excited to provide three more chances to see the show that the critics seemed to love as much as the sold out audiences did.”
