ThanksKilling The Musical flies into Central Florida this spring. Get ready Orlando, Turkie is coming for you!

ThanksKilling The Musical, which features music by Jeff Thomson (Trails, Jawbreaker, Pump Up the Volume) and lyrics by Jordan Mann (Trails, Jawbreaker), was conceived in partnership with David Eck and is adapted from the cult film by Jordan Downey and Kevin Stewart. ThanksKilling, based on the film of the same name is about five college kids headed home for Thanksgiving break who cross paths with a homicidal turkey possessed by an ancient Indian curse. Horror and hilarity ensue, as the teens must stop the manic bird before he kills them all.

ThanksKilling The Musical was received with thunderous applause at the Orlando Fringe Teaser on April 17.  What are people saying?  "The BEST of Fringe 2017", "This show is on my must see list this year!", "I already bought my tickets because after that preview I didn't want to chance not getting a seat!", "I literally cannot wait, I love the movie and can't wait to see it as a musical!"  As you can see "ThanksKilling The Musical" is quickly being hailed as the MUST SEE SHOW OF ORLANDO FRINGE 2017!

Produced by JMEG Theatrical (Johnnie Maier III and Eddie Gomez), under the Direction of Meghan Marsh.  When asked, Johnnie and Eddie told us, "we are so incredibly lucky to have such a talented group of people to usher in our first Fringe as producers.  There is nothing more that a producer could ever ask for.  The cast is great, the crew is great!  It really is the dream team!"

ThanksKilling will receive five performances as part of the 26th Annual Orlando Fringe Festival, which is being presented at Loch Haven Park (777 E Princeton St Orlando, FL 32803).
