Exorcistic: The Rock Musical follows a theatre company planning to put on a parody of The Exorcist. The audience will follow this theatre company from stage reading to Broadway as their quest for fame and money supersedes their art and humanity, ensuring that their lead actress, Emma Hunton, actually becomes possessed in the process.
With iconic imagery and an explosive live band, the show comes to life with energy and flair that will keep audiences captivated from start to finish by a sensational theatrical experience that not only pays homage to the classic film, but reimagines it in a truly electrifying way.
Written by Michael Shaw Fisher, who serves as the book writer, composer, and lyricist, Exorcistic: The Rock Musical features the talented Emma Hunton, known for her role in Freeform’s Good Trouble.
The musical is a self-aware parody that creates a chaotic, over-the-top rock musical. In true Rock and Roll fashion, Exorcistic: The Rock Musical features a rotating cast of Celebrity Guests each week, creating an incentive for audiences to return again and again. This unique aspect sets the musical apart in the crowded horror-comedy genre, promising fresh surprises at every performance.
Special guest stars include: Lance Bass, Garrett Clayton, Orfeh, Frankie Grande, Lena Hall, Lindsay Heather Pearce, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Evan Rachel Wood, Ryann Redmond, Nick Cearly and MORE! (Scheduling pending)
Exorcistic: The Rock Musical is currently playing at The Asylum in NYC. Click Here for tickets!
