Blood/Love, a new vampire pop opera, will make its way Off-Broadway this spring.

The work will begin performances at Theater 555 February 13, 2026, and will officially open March 3 for a limited run through March 29.

Directed by Hunter Bird (Masquerade), Blood/Love is written by Carey Sharpe and Grammy nominee Dru DeCaro. Sharpe will also play the leading role of Valerie Bloodlove.

Valerie is the world's first vampire. For thousands of years, she ruled the night, but now, she's thirsty for more. Set in a sultry nightclub, the former queen of the underworld searches for a meaning to her existence beyond eternal bloodshed. Her endless night changes when she meets a mortal soul with his own devilish secret.
