"We come from the dark ..."
Monstersongs is a unique theatrical event that “roars with originality
… a chillingly inventive musical experience." —BroadwayWorld
Monstersongs puts audiences in a synthesized world of graphic novels, rock musicals, live performance, and new technology. Following the journey of a child who opens a portal into the psyches of often misunderstood creatures; Monstersongs flips the switch on the monster narrative, inviting audiences to explore the humanity that binds us all.
Written by Rob Rokicki, the composer of the critically acclaimed Drama Desk and Lortel Nominated, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical (book Joe Tracz), and developed in conjunction with award-winning illustrator David O’Neill, Monstersongs works well as fully immersive experience. The show has a beautiful graphic novel and projections (available to license) of the artwork to enhance the audience’s experience.
The world premiere recording of Monstersongs was released by Broadway Records and features a scary amount of Broadway talent including Megan Hilty (Smash), Jelani Alladin (Frozen), & Julia Murney (Wicked). Different artwork and song styles support each monster— from Medusa belting out hard rock, to a bluegrass flavored Troll under the bridge. Scary, silly, and heartfelt, Monstersongs is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
