Shockheaded Peter (Off-Broadway) Tickets

In the spirit of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey comes this hilariously gruesome and wildly acclaimed musical staging of a classic 19th century children's book. Deliciously morbid, occasionally chilling, and entirely unique, Shockheaded Peter illuminates a series of cautionary tales about a horrible cast of disobedient children with a whimsical combination of grand guignol, puppetry, and Victorian melodrama. Young Harriett and her pyrotechnic tendencies, little Conrad and his insatiable thumb-sucking, and a handful of other misbehaving youngsters all come to untimely and gleefully gory [IMG:R]ends in this acclaimed British import dubbed "A Triumph!" by The Daily Telegraph and "one of the must-sees of the decade" by The Guardian. Featuring 11 original songs written and performed by The Tiger Lillies--a devilishly diabolical trio straight out of London's underground--Shockheaded Peter had New York audiences clamoring for tickets during its sold-out engagement at the New Victory Theater in October, 1999. Recommended for ages 10 -110 (May be too intense for children under 10). Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
