We kept the climactic ending to this new horror musical a secret at the staged singing in August but now ALL will be REVEALED!!
HALLOWEEN! THE BALLAD OF MICHELE MYERS is musical parody of America’s obsession with slasher films mashed up with black comedy teen movies such as Heathers along with a heavy dash of one of TV’s scariest sitcoms from the 80s, The Facts of Life:
“Mrs. Skerritt chaperons 4 school ‘girls’ up to the lake for a fun-filled Halloween dance over at the boys’ camp. But someone also invited crazed tranny killer Michele Myers to crash the party! Watch her slash through her victims to a disco beat! Dos-i-do and try to evade her bloody gaze! Rock out with your cock out and it just might get snipped! Shriek in horror at her unmasking! Freddy, Jason, and Michael scared your breathless…now it’s HER TURN!”
HALLOWEEN stars a bevy of local drag and performing artist talent: Raya Light, Steven Satyricon, Trixxie Carr, Audra Wolfmann, Honey Mahogany, Flynn Witmeyer, Robert Grammel aka Pristine Condition, Samuel Palmer, and Kai Medeiros.
