A few months back we shared the news that Saw had been turned into a musical. It was done through unauthorized means in an off-Broadway fashion. SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw wasn’t expected to be a thing at all – let alone have a national tour.
The Saw musical was a big hit in its Off-Broadway run. It changes up the stakes a bit and sees the whole thing as a reimagined love story with a ton of laughs along the way.
The description of SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw goes like this:
One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the Saw that started it all, following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow “the rules” as they discover each other’s secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q , pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love.
The National tour of Saw‘s musical doesn’t have many stops but it does give a few people who didn’t live in New York a chance to see the spectacle for themselves. The tour begins in Los Angeles, CA (Hudson Theatre Mainstage, Feb 29- Apr 7, 2024 ); San Diego, CA (Tenth Ave Arts Center, April 10 – 28, 2024), Las Vegas, NV (May 1 – 5, 2024), Portland, OR (Alberta Abbey, May 15 – Jun 9, 2024), Greely, CO (Union Colony Civic Center, June 2024) and ends in Chicago, IL (Jul 26 – Aug 18, 2024).
