About
The 1987 vampire cult film becomes a Broadway rock musical at the Palace, directed by Michael Arden with a score by the band The Rescues.
Santa Carla's teen vampires, the boardwalk and the Frog brothers have been turned into a full rock musical by Michael Arden, the director behind Maybe Happy Ending and Parade. The opening company featured Shoshana Bean as the Emerson boys' mother, and The Rescues wrote a score built for big voices and loud guitars. If you love the movie or want Broadway's newest horror-tinged spectacle, this is the ticket.
What to expect
The Palace, reopened after its elevated renovation, hosts a moody production with a live rock band. Expect the film's beats, a coastal-boardwalk setting and a darker edge than most Broadway musicals.
