SEE TEETH FROM $39! FINAL PERFORMANCE JAN. 5

You have just a few more weeks to see the musical New York Magazine calls “a thrilling roller-coaster ride”!

Come for the comedy, stay for the biting exploration of faith, purity and sex! TEETH is the new musical that looks like a campy laugh-fest on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Trust us.

Dawn O’Keefe is an evangelical Christian teen with a powerful secret not even she understands – when men violate her, her body bites back. That’s not a metaphor. From Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) and Anna K. Jacobs (POP!), Teeth, based on the cult classic film of the same name, is a fierce, rapturous, and savagely entertaining new musical crackling with irrepressible desire and ancient rage.

Come see a story where women actually win… for once. Get tickets from $39!

“A BRAZEN, CACKLE-WORTHY MUSICAL.” Washington Post
