Forever Deadward is a hilarious, intelligent pop rock musical that lovingly takes a bite out of everyone's favorite vampire series, and a few other pop culture icons along the way. The show playfully examines our culture of obsession and our obsession with the fantastical. Forever Deadward became a pop culture phenomenon following its sold out premiere at New World Stages, and was praised by MTV, E! Entertainment, and Entertainment Weekly, among others. Forever Deadward received its first workshop in 2010 at the LABA Theatre, NYC. The York Theatre Company is proud to be part of this production's growth and development through the Development Reading Series. Forever Deadward: The Vampire Musical Parody, is back!
