- "Fifty Shades of Grey" musical parody promises to leave breathless theatre goers panting for more!

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Forty million copies of the E L James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" series have been sold worldwide.  And the readers' biggest complaint? The sex doesn't start until page 121.

Fans of the trilogy or anybody curious about the titillating subject matter, will love this provocative musical that will get theatre-goers laughing ... and blushing.   Opening August 22nd, "50 Shades! The Musical," has all of the kinky Fifty Shades features—Ana, Christian, the bondage, the contract, the BDSM (Best Damn Songs & Music)!

And the sex starts in Act 1.

"'50 Shades' is edgy, funny and a bit raunchy with a dash of sex education for the few that are uninformed," says producer Marshall Cordell. "Fans of the books, and anyone who's curious about them, will love this production."

"50 Shades! The Musical" opens in Scotland at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world.  The play features a lineup of sexy, catchy tunes, and treats the audience to a humorous take on Ana's journey to find her boundaries. Ana and Christian's relationship develops as a group of book club women follow breathlessly along. Fans of the books will recognize all of the erotica and dominance themes explored in the book, with plenty of spice, edge and comedy mixed in.
