SCREAM QUEENS does for horror

fandom."

hilarious."

choreography
that continue to endure long after the initial run of this
production has ended."
Laura Schiff

magazine
"They nailed it. I was really blown away by Scott's words.
It was as
if someone had sat beside us at the conventions and absorbed everything.
It
really encapsulated the whole experience (of being a scream queen),
all
aspects of it, and I thought the lyrics were clever and brilliant.
It was
really funny."
Brinke Stevens
Actress / Producer / Actual Scream Queen
"Wonderful! Great fun! Had the best time!
