Wednesday, MAY 8, 2024 at 9:30pm ET: In an unforgettable celebration of the works of Stephen King and the sold-out critically-acclaimed run of the show, with music by Andrew Abrams (But I’m a Cheerleader, the Musical), Book by Colleen DuVall (White Zombie) and Book and lyrics by Mark-Eugene Garcia (Eight Tales of Pedro, Standby, Jaime Lozano’s Songs By An Immigrant), experience the songs: “Greener Mile,” “Squint Through The Shining,” “Number One Fan,” (and many more) and learn the terrifying origins of Annie Wilkes, and Jack, Wendy, and Danny Torrance. Don’t let this “shining” opportunity fade into “the mist.” Directed by Donald Garverick (Off- Broadway: The Office!- a Musical Parody and 90210-The Musical). Music direction by Evan Lange (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 regional premiere).

Review from Broadwayworld.com:

“[Sarah Mackenzie Baron] and Sierra Rein were magical as the Shining twins, but Rein’s Cujo solo was beyond brilliant and may have been the evenings most unexpected twist.”

Review from Lavendarafterdark.com:

““Even Cujo the dog is briefly featured in the play, voiced “doggy style” by Sierra Rein.”
