    About This Event

    Now at PACNYC’s Perelman Performing Arts Center, *monster SLAYer* arrives as a musical that treats pop-horror imagery as a way to talk about power, fear, and the stories people inherit. It follows a would-be “slayer” navigating a world where monsters are both literal threats and social labels, and the score moves between confession and confrontation. If this is its first New York run, it reads as part of PACNYC’s broader effort to place new, genre-bending work on a major downtown stage. The show’s sharpest move is refusing easy moral categories.
