A comedy horror musical is coming to Cefn Mawr just in time for Halloween.
Wrexham Music & Theatre Society (WMTS) will present StarKid Productions’ Nerdy Prudes Must Die at George Edwards Hall on October 16, 17, 23, and 24.
Originally opening at the El Portal Theatre in Los Angeles in 2023, the show will make its West End debut at London’s Apollo Theatre in February next year.
Set in the fictional Hatchfield High, the story follows students Grace Chasity, Steph Lauter and Peter Spankoffski as they try to survive a supernatural threat targeting the school’s "nerdy prudes."
Adam Hodges, the show’s director, said: "I’ve been performing with Wrexham Music & Theatre Society for a few years now, and at some point I thought, why not give directing a go?
"And what better way to start than with a musical!
"I wanted to take on something very different from what we’ve done before, and Nerdy Prudes Must Die felt like the perfect choice.
"It has everything you could want from a show: comedy, horror, romance, catchy songs and a fantastic cast of unique characters."
Mr Hodges praised the dedication of the team in bringing the production to life.
He said: "I’ve been incredibly impressed by the effort and commitment that everyone involved, both cast and crew, has put into the production.
"As we get closer to opening night, rehearsals are really ramping up, and the excitement is building.
"We've faced one or two challenges along the way, but it's been a fantastic experience, and I’m so proud of what the team has achieved.
"I’m sure audiences are in for a real treat."
The production contains strong language, religious references and adult content.
Performances will take place at 7.30pm on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, with an additional matinee at 2.30pm on the Saturday.
The show returns the following weekend on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, also at 7.30pm, with a second 2.30pm matinee on the Saturday.
