The Rent of the Porn Industry

A New York theater troupe interviewed porn stars in Porn Valley about their business and turned their research into a musical: "Pretty Filthy."

"The Civilians are laying bare the lives of porn stars in their newest production, 'Pretty Filthy.' A behind-the-scenes musical about the adult entertainment industry, drawn as always from extensive interviews with players in the business itself, the new show features songs by the company’s go-to composer-lyricist, the supremely gifted Michael Friedman (known for 'Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,' among others); a book by Bess Wohl; and direction by Steve Cosson, the troupe’s founding artistic director."
