DARK OF THE MOON is a supernatural tale of witchcraft, small-town prejudices, forbidden romance and the power of faith. This timeless, spellbinding new musical 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. And the show’s unique musical score reflects those conflicting worlds as the humans sing country/bluegrass while the witches sing rock. Two young lovers—a human girl and a sexy warlock—find each other and defy their communities’ entrenched prejudices to build a life together. But, with that, they must face a heartbreaking ultimatum, because although true love can heal a great divide...sometimes it is the cause.
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”), DARK OF THE MOON is a story of love and loss. It’s about the romantic but tragic bittersweet choice facing the couple: to live forever without love — or to die, at least having loved and been loved.
