Featuring music and lyrics by Petti and a book by Annie Pulsipher, the monster musical follows three teenage best friends who endeavor to conjure up hot prom dates, only to end up with monsters that must be slain to save the town. The musical got an Off-Broadway run at Players Theatre in 2023.

The concert performance will star Cara Rose DiPietro (Elsbeth) as Madison, Ellis Gage (White Rose) as Silence, Ashley D. Kelley (Shucked) as Stella, Analise Scarpaci (Mrs. Doubtfire) as Grace, Jimmy Brewer (Scotland, PA) as Zachary, Ben Jackson Walker (& Juliet) as Lucian, Nicholas Parker, and Marissa Rosen (Bat Boy) as Smiley Cindy. Casting is by Daryl Eisenberg.

Rachel Klein is directing, and Sheela Ramesh will music direct. The concert is being produced in association with Kampfire Films.
