BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS - an experimental musical
BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS is a horror movie, inside of a musical, inside of a play about Ginny (and her movie and musical counterparts). Ginny is a bookwriter & lyricist fighting to get the final draft of her musical script approved to go into rehearsals. But as her creative team coerces her into changes, Ginny begins rewrites that drastically impact the plot of the musical, and therefore the horror movie. Turning a story that should be one of determination and success into a disturbing tale about survival, as reality and fiction begin to blur during Ginny’s final evaluation. BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS is like if Inception, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Whiplash had a baby – and that baby sang like 50% of the time.
