NEVERMORE to Launch 'Goth and Steampunk' Thursdays Next Week

NEVERMORE -- The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is encouraging audience members to channel their inner Poe by dressing in their finest Goth and Steampunk attire when attending a performance of the off-Broadway hit. Beginning February 19, all Thursday evening performances will be "Goth and Steampunk" inspired, with all audience members dressed in Goth or Steampunk attire receiving a free drink voucher. Just be sure to remove your Top Hat before the show begins!

NEVERMORE is performed in the heart of Broadway at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues).

Beautiful and bizarre, playful and perverse, Nevermore- The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is a whimsical and macabre musical play about the enigmatic writer who has fascinated the world for more than a century. Poe struggled with tragedy, addiction, poverty, and loss while producing some of the world's most original, visionary and enduring literature before dying in unexplained circumstances at the age of 40. At once gorgeous and grotesque, Nevermore blurs the line between fact and fiction, exploring the events that shaped Poe's character and career and giving powerful expression to Poe's words "all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

NEVERMORE is written, composed, and directed by Catalyst Theatre's (Edmonton, Canada) Artistic Director, Jonathan Christenson. The physical world of Nevermore -- including sets, costumes, and lighting -- is designed by Bretta Gerecke. The production features choreography by Laura Krewski and sound design is by Wade Staples.

NEVERMORE cast members include Gaelan Beatty, Shannon Blanchet, Beth Graham, Ryan Parker, Garett Ross, Scott Shpeley and Lindsie VanWinkle with understudies Jennifer Byrne, Stephen Cerf, and Rob Morrison.

NEVERMORE is produced by Radio Mouse Entertainment (M. Kilburg Reedy and Jason E. Grossman), Martin Hummel, Caiola Productions, Terry Schnuck, Susan Jaffe Tane, Hernreich-Horvath Productions and Catalyst Theatre, in association with Fireboat Productions, Mary Cossette, and Meredith Lynsey Schade.
