Why watch Teeth?
- A severed tongue-in-cheek musical comedy, Teeth rips apart the stage with its cutting, vicious black humor, turning one woman’s sexual curse into salvation.
- The musical is directed by Pulitzer-prize winning director, Sarah Benson (Fairview) and written by Tony winner Michael R. Jackson known for the acclaimed musical A Strange Loop.
- A furious, fast-paced musical and a production that makes you crave another bite, Teeth was sold out following its (twice!) extended run at the Playwrights Horizons.
- Teeth is for the horror-lover as anti-heroine Dawn O’Keefe is on a bloody rampage against men who wrong her, and you're brought along for this rollercoaster of a ride.
- Catch the literal fire and rain of Teeth—where revenge, blood, and gory visual delights collide—at New World Stages. Tickets are in high demand for this musical!
All about a girl who turns her curse from a demon into a bloodthirsty chance for transformation, Teeth has been renewed after its extended run at the Playwrights Horizons. Based on the cult classic film of the same name, this is a dark comedy that will shock you. Delving deep into themes of revenge, ancient horrors granting wishes, and the banishment of sexual shame, Teeth is a love letter to the horror genre. A show backed by Tony (and Pulitzer!) winner Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs (POP!) is sure to be spectacular. Quench your thirst for a story you can sink your teeth into.
Storyline
Teeth is centered around evangelical teen Dawn O’Keefe. She’s abstinent and even part of a purity group, the Promise Keeper Girls. But Dawn’s hiding something. Her secret? When men try to violate her, she bites back. Literally. A curse from the demon Dentata, Teeth is a sexual demon on a rampage. Dawn’s whole family, her stepbrother and her pastor father, also go through their own discoveries, but the star of the show will leave you hungering for more.
