It blends original songs, tropes, and absurdity into a fast-paced theatrical experience.

People ask if Redrum is a musical, a parody, or a horrific fever dream.
The answer is yes.
It’s a love letter to the shows we obsess over, the stories we can’t shake, and the moment when things start to feel… a little off.
There’s music.
There’s madness.
There’s bourbon.
There’s a talking tooth.
And once you check into this show, you may notice something odd.
You will never want to check out.
The Creators
Redrum was created by writer/director Joe Lovero and composer Jon Hugo Ungar.
Bring REDRUM to your stage.
Redrum is available for licensing to theaters, universities, and producing organizations looking for a musical that leans all the way into the sink — fearless humor, strong ensemble storytelling, and absolutely no interest in playing it safe.
This is a show for companies that enjoy smart audiences, committed performers, and the particular joy that comes from turning something revered into something slightly unhinged.
If you’re interested in producing Redrum, we’d love to hear from you.
