Following its sold-out, extended run at Playwrights Horizons, TEETH is still hungry for more. Beginning this fall, the “brazen, cackle-worthy new musical” (The Washington Post) is setting up permanent residence at New World Stages!
Dawn O’Keefe is an evangelical Christian teen with a powerful secret not even she understands – when men violate her, her body bites back. That’s not a metaphor. From Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) and Anna K. Jacobs (POP!), TEETH, based on the cult classic film of the same name, is a fierce, rapturous, and savagely entertaining new musical crackling with irrepressible desire and ancient rage – a dark comedy conjuring the legend of one girl whose sexual curse is also her salvation.
