Dark of the Moon
A supernatural tale of powerful witchcraft, small-town prejudices and the power of love.
“Being human is heartbreak.”
DARK OF THE MOON, is a timeless, spellbinding new musical that portrays the clash of two dynamically polarized worlds—a charming rural Appalachian town and the mystical world of witches and warlocks from the Smoky Mountains that loom high above. The show’s unique musical score reflects those conflicting worlds using a thrilling blend of country/bluegrass and rock.
It’s been called “Twilight meets Romeo and Juliet”, Barbara Allen - a human girl and John - a curious witch-boy, find each other and defy their communities to build a life together. It’s a powerful story of love and loss and the romantic but tragic bittersweet choice facing the couple: to live forever without love — or to die, at least having loved and been loved.
Directed by GEORGIE RANKCOM with a book by Emmy® Award nominee JONATHAN PRINCE (“American Dreams”) and an eclectic score by Grammy® Award-winning and multiplatinum-selling songwriters LINDY ROBBINS (Demi Lovato’s “Skyscraper”), DAVE BASSETT (Elle King’s “Ex’s and Oh’s”) and STEVE ROBSON (Rascal Flatts’ “What Hurts the Most”).
