15 YEAR OLD ELON MUSK the 90s karaoke musical

★★★★ “A highly entertaining show” — What the Show

Karaoke Magic: Your Singing Helps Save The World (a tiny bit). This controversial sing-along musical ... & mind-reading magic show ... & Sudan relief fundraiser ... features Mr. 1 Trillion as a lonely, bullied teenage kid sitting in hospital after a thrashing -- when he's visited by a ghost who's hungry for Elon's cash to help end a famine ... along with a little redemption to escape from limbo. Young Elon is performed in a poor South African accent by St John Smith, and you and he will try make the world a little better by belting out the wisdom of Natalie Imbruglia, George Michael, The Notorious B.I.G., and other such 90’s prophets -- with all lyrics up on the big screen (check the Spotify link in 'more details' below for playlist to know the tunes)!
ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO HAVE THIS SHOW BANNED SO TICKETS SELLING OUT FAST*
