Tina McGuire Theatre
Down in the sleepy town of Whitecross, Florida, the moss hangs heavy—and so do the secrets. Southern charm and religious values are practically currency, and townsfolk die of natural causes—not murder.
Until now.
When psychologist “Einstein” Brad Pope returns home to settle old family debts, he discovers that nostalgia is a seductive liar—and his hometown is hiding more than family secrets. What is his grandma and her Sisterfriends planting in the Welcome Garden: camellias or corpses? Why is the mysterious Voodoo Sally lurking in the swampy woods surrounding the Suwannee River? And who killed All-American football hero and underwater cave diver Big Jake Nunn?
Bold, fast-paced and unapologetically camp-forward, this Southern Gothic murder mystery musical has real heart underneath the outrageous characters, wicked humor, unexpected twists, genuine heart—and original live music. Reminiscent of Rocky Picture Horror Show, Little Shop of Horrors, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, this musical romp is about good versus evil, a long-overdue reckoning, and the power of love over judgment.
Journey into the underbelly of a town where beauty and brutality live side by side—twisting, turning, and teasing to the surface one suspicion, one misunderstanding, and one scandalous confession at a time.
Come for the killer music. Stay for the murder. As Voodoo Sally always says: “Evol wanga obeah.” You might not know what it means now—but you will after you see the show.
