About this show
Inspired by the hit show about hockey, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody follows starry-eyed golden boy Shane Hollander on his journey from power centre to power bottom. Sporting a bop-infused score, scene-stealing cameos by characters like Rose Landry and Ilya's Ass, and time jumps absolutely no one can keep track of, audiences will find themselves hot, bothered and probably saying, '....Girl!' Because with love, sometimes it comes when you least expect it... and sometimes, it comes hands-free. So, grab a Canada Dry and join us for this hot and steamy romp!
