MURDER BALLAD
MURDER BALLAD is a sexy, explosive new immersive musical which explores the complications of love, the compromises we make, and the betrayals that can ultimately undo us. A love triangle gone wrong, set in a bar in New York City, Sara is an Upper West Sider who seems to have it all, but whose downtown past lingers enticingly and dangerously in front of her. Murder Ballad written by Jonathan Larson Award winner Julia Jordan and indie rock singer/songwriter Juliana Nash has a phenomenal score you will never forget.
“Murder Ballad is energized, dirty fun, a blend of pulpy storytelling, and radio-ready rock."
- Time Out New York
“Chamber musical with the force of a film noir."
- The Guardian
