The “Unauthorized - Teenage Vampire - Parody” is Reborn: "Forever Deadward"

NEW YORK - Nov. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- (November 13, 2014 – New York, New York) After becoming a pop culture phenomenon with its sold out premier at New World Stages in 2012, Forever Deadward: The Vampire Musical Parody is back!  Praised by MTV, E! Entertainment, and Entertainment Weekly among others, Forever Deadward is a hilarious, intelligent pop rock musical that lovingly takes a bite out of everyone’s favorite vampire series (and a few other pop culture icons along the way). The show will have a concert presentation for the forthcoming Off Broadway show on Tuesday December 16^th at 9:30pm. 54 Below (254 West 54^th St./646-476-3551) will host the preview concert for fans and press.  The show playfully examines our culture of obsession and our obsession with the fantastical.
