Coming soon to the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival

Catch the LA premiere of the electrifying new Broadway-bound rock musical based on Allan Moyle’s cult classic film!

Text "Pump Up the Volume" in bold, grunge style, with "a new rock musical" underneath, and an orange microphone graphic on a black background.

Starring Broadway’s Anthony Norman (Reefer Madness, LA Drama Critics nomination) — in the role made famous by Christian Slater — this Staged Concert Production channels the rebellious energy of underground radio into a heart-pounding theatrical experience. Be among the first to see the raw, defiant and deeply human spirit of Pump Up The Volume by award-winning writers Thomson & Desmon — the breakout show London’s Guardian calls “a rousing musical attuned to our new age of disillusionment.”

Pump Up The Volume follows a shy outsider named Mark living in a strict small town. When he launches his own pirate radio station straight out of his bedroom, he transforms into his edgy alter ego, his radio persona “Hard Harry.” But when tragedy strikes the school, “Hard Harry” is blamed, and others attempt to shut the radio show down, leaving Mark to decide whether to allow them to silence him or to PUMP UP THE VOLUME.

Directed by Dave Solomon and featuring a cast of the hottest NYC and L.A. performers and musicians, this Special Presentation of a New Musical promises to be a must-see special event at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

6 PERFORMANCES ONLY at THE HUDSON THEATRE
