SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw  premieres Off-Broadway Fall 2023 in New York after its smash out-of-town tryout in Philadelphia last year! One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical . SAW The Musical  hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the  Saw  that started it all, following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow "the rules" as they discover each other's secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids),  SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw  is  Little Shop of Horrors  meets  Avenue Q , pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love. {!Parental Advisory: Explicit Content}

"SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw brings the iconic horror film to life on stage with a wickedly funny twist. Now is the perfect time to laugh at the macabre as we blend horror and hair-raising laughter, creating a unique musical experience that's both hilarious and thrilling. Get ready for a love story entangled in traps, secrets, and unexpected humor, pushing the boundaries of entertainment with a dash of explicit fun."    Cooper Jordan, Creator and Producer
