Jack Is Dead celebrates the idea that while death may end a life, it cannot end love—and reminds us that the greatest gift we leave behind is not our possessions or even our accomplishments, but the love that continues to shape the lives of those still living.
With humor, heart, mystery, and original music, Jack Is Dead invites audiences to laugh, cry, leave the theatre humming “Carried By the Wind,” and rediscover the extraordinary gift of being alive.
Venus: The Love Show is a contemporary romantic musical comedy where Greek gods walk the streets of Manhattan, a famous astrologer falls back into the orbit of the astronomer who broke her heart, and the fate of the universe depends on their getting back together. And they have three days to do it.
Blending satire, mythology, pop culture, and an original score, the musical celebrates forgiveness, second chances, and the timeless idea that love remains the greatest force in the cosmos.
