Grim – La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego

About this event

GRIM is an irreverent, hilarious, and heartbreaking world-premiere musical that celebrates both life and death. Led by director Sammi Cannold, a Drama Desk Award winner and one of Variety’s 10 Broadway Stars to Watch, the production unites a cross-genre creative team: comedy trailblazers Joey Orton and Brad Silnutzer, and songwriters Petro AP and Scott Hoying (of Pentatonix). With an infectious score and cheeky humor, GRIM aims to deliver piercing insights that leave audiences laughing, crying, and deeply moved. The show will begin with First Look preview performances to allow the creative team to refine the piece based on audience response.
