Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Premiering with a one-night-only show at the London Palladium, Eugenius! is a love letter to The '80s in the form of a West End musical. The story is centred on Eugene, a schoolboy with a talent for writing comic books who finds himself catapulted to fame with a Hollywood movie concept. Nevertheless, it somehow also manages to encompass an unrequited Childhood Friend Romance, the career aspirations of a Hollywood wannabe-starlet... and the attempted overthrow of Earth by an evil intergalactic overlord....That last one should probably have been mentioned earlier.With a star-filled cast including Louis Maskell (West Side Story), Amy Lennox (Kinky Boots) and Samuel Holmes (Spamalot), as well as eternal geek favourites BRIAN BLESSED and Warwick Davis, the initial performance of Eugenius! was met with very positive reviews. The "concert" performance of its first outing (i.e. with minimal set, minimal costumes and scripts in hand) diminished interest slightly, and reviewers almost universally marked it as a work in progress. Nevertheless, it set out the bones of what could be a major future musical.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Actor/Role Confusion

comment
Actor/Role Confusion; The evil intergalactic despot believes that the actor playing Tough Man really is his namesake space hero, and challenges him. The rest of the production crew think the real Hector is the actor portraying him.

The Big Guy: The star of Eugene's comic, Tough Man. To a lesser extent, the heavily-accented actor pulled in to play Tough Man in the movie.

The '80s: It's set in 1988 and references a lot of eighties culture.
