DEATH CRUISE Makes Off-Broadway Debut

Thicket & Thistle, the New York City theater company comprised of actor-musicians who blur the lines between author, performer, and orchestra, are excited to announced that its original musical comedy Death Cruise will make its Off-Broadway debut this July at Access Theater.

Making new friends can be hard, especially when there's a demon tracking your every move. Death Cruise, a musical comedy, follows the staff on an Arctic cruise ship who are tested and tormented by a demon desperate to corrupt their souls. Featuring a cast of actor-musicians, this offbeat musical explores themes of hope, friendship, and eternal despair!

Company members Kyle Acheson, Sam DeRoest, Joshua Stenseth, Jonathan Eric Foster, Juliana Wheeler and Lindsay Zaroogian collaborated on Death Cruise's book, score, and lyrics. The 2019 debut production will be directed by Ashley Brooke Monroe and stars Kyle Acheson, Sam DeRoest, Jonathan Eric Foster, Joshua Stenseth, Titus Tompkins, Juliana Wheeler, Lindsay Zaroogian, who all play a wide array of instruments to make up the show's musical accompaniment.
