NYU & BERKLEE GRAD COMPOSER BRINGS ORIGINAL HORROR ROCK MUSICAL DEAD JOHN TO HOLLYWOOD FRINGE

DEAD JOHN (Rock 'n Roll Until We Die)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — DEAD JOHN, at its core, explores fame, sacrifice, and the extreme lengths artists will go to in order to stay legendary. The show features an all-female cast, four full-scale death sequences, and a creative team spanning television, film, theater, and horror entertainment.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The musical follows the all-female rock band, Third Twin, on the verge of their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction when a freak onstage accident kills one of their bandmates. As conspiracy-fueled rumors spread and a sinister deal with devilish media mogul Bobby Beelz begins to unravel, the band must navigate fame, sacrifice, backstage chaos, and a rising body count — because the show must go on!

Inspired by everything from Stephen King and Final Destination to This Is Spinal Tap and ‘80s arena rock, DEAD JOHN blends theatrical spectacle, dark comedy, supernatural horror, and live rock performance into a high-energy original musical experience. The production features a fully original music inspired by legendary bands including Journey, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, KISS, and Motley Crue.

The creative team behind DEAD JOHN includes composer/lyricist Tyler Rivera Stein, a NYU and Berklee grad composer whose work includes the Emmy Award-winning short Deviant and the feature film Surrender Dorothy; book writer/director Logan Horberg, whose background spans FX makeup, immersive entertainment, and horror storytelling through his podcast Scare Me Twice; and producer Taissa Zveiter, a Television Academy member and actress known for her roles in The Lincoln Lawyer – NETFLIX, The Morning Show – AppleTV, Pam & Tommy – HULU, Quantum Leap – NBC, and High Potential – ABC.
