ABOUT THE SHOW
This original dark-comedy, rock-musical is a fun, creepy, rollicking ride, with live music, laughs, and a spooky twist on the meaning of love.
Gravedigger: The Musical is an original dark-comedy, rock-musical that tells the story of a beautiful girl who dies of a rare condition only two days short of her nuptials. Much to her parent’s dismay, the fiancé absconds with her corpse to bury her himself in their favorite part of the Spooky Woods. He enlists the help of the local Gravedigger to assist with his labor of love. But in a twist of fate, the Gravedigger falls in love with her and plots to spend the rest of their lives together. However, her parents regain her corpse and a desperate chase across the desert on a train ensues.
Is Gravedigger for kids?
The show is about a gravedigger who falls in love with a corpse bride-to-be and is rated “pg-13” for language. Our official recommendation is for audiences aged 15+ just to be safe. If you’re not sure if your teen should see the show, please feel free to ask! Remember, it’s a dark-comedy — just in time for Halloween!
