Exorcistic: The Rock Musical is a bold, high-octane horror-comedy. Winner of LA Drama Critics Circle Best Music and Lyrics 2023 and Best new musical Off-Off Broadway BroadwayWorld Awards 2024 and Written by Michael Shaw Fisher (book, music & lyrics) and starring Emma Hunton (from Freeform’s Good Trouble) this campy, self-aware parody launches when a struggling theater troupe known for it’s musical parodies tries to cash in on the 52nd Anniversary (who doesn’t love an Anniversary) of the legendary horror film The Exorcist—by staging a chaotic, over-the-top rock musical.

We join the company for the first staged reading of the original musical. Since there’s an instant conflict of personalities and creative priorities within the company, they decide to do an “experimental version” of the parody, but throughout the reading, cast mates become offended and technical issues ensue quickly spiraling them into theatrical madness as the cast realizes they are no longer just parodying evil, but summoning it.

Dismissing the glaring obviousness that their show is cursed or that they are being opportunistic for riding the press surrounding the show’s mishaps. They replaced an actress with a big Broadway star, but all bets are off when the possessed actress shows back up, having broken out of the mental hospital, and demands that they give her a real “rock ‘n’ roll exorcism“ making the exorcism from the movie serve as a real exorcism for the actress. The exorcism works, freeing her of her possession, bringing home their Broadway premiere successfully… but at what cost? The dangerous thing about live theatre is that if Evil does exist, then no one is safe.
