GRIM

About the show

A world-premiere musical following Diana, daughter of the Grim Reaper, as she prepares to inherit her father's role after 300,000 years of his soul-collecting work. When a simple test stands between her and the position, Diana unexpectedly falls in love with a human teenager named Josh. Confronted with the beauty and complexity of human existence—from genuine connection to bureaucratic absurdity—Diana faces an existential crisis: how can she oversee death when she has discovered a passion for life? The production brings together an accomplished creative team including director Sammi Cannold, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, and songwriting talent from Petro AP and Scott Hoying, crafting a musical that balances irreverent comedy with emotional depth and philosophical insight.
