MURDER BALLAD, the new musical that enjoyed an acclaimed, sold-out engagement at Manhattan Theatre Club last Fall. MURDER BALLAD is conceived by Jonathan Larson Award winner and two-time Susan Smith Blackburn Prize finalist Julia Jordan with book and lyrics by Jordan and music and lyrics by indie rock singer/songwriter Juliana Nash. Drama Desk Award nominee Trip Cullman (Paul Weitz's Lonely, I'm Not; Adam Bock's A Small Fire) directs.
A love triangle gone wrong, MURDER BALLAD centers on Sara, an Upper West Sider who seems to have it all, but whose downtown past lingers enticingly and dangerously in front of her. This sexy, explosive new musical explores the complications of love, the compromises we make, and the betrayals that can ultimately undo us.
RUNNING TIME 80 MINUTES- NO INTERMISSION
"PLENTY OF SENSUAL HEAT. This steamy show is a love triangle with a razor's edges. The show features taut, tart, and pungent lyrics by Julia Jordan and Juliana Nash and inventive direction by Trip Cullman. There's plenty of sensual heat generated by the cast in this savvy new musical."
- Ben Brantley, The New York Times CRITIC'S PICK
"MURDER BALLAD ROCKS! This is a vibrant new rock musical with a juicy and entertaining story. Trip Cullman's visceral, in-your-face production has lots of energy."
- Joe Dziemianowicz, The Daily News
"ENERGIZED, DIRTY FUN. Grab a beer, get a table and make like you're at a rock concert - because you sorta are."
