MONSTERSONGS | The Other Palace
Production Assistant
Monstersongs is a graphic novel/rock musical hybrid that “roars with originality... a chillingly inventive musical experience.” (Tori Hartshorn, BroadwayWorld ) A portal into the psyches of misunderstood creatures; Monstersongs flips the switch on the monster narrative, inviting audiences to explore the humanity that binds us all.
Written by Rob Rokicki, composer of the critically acclaimed, Drama Desk Nominated, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical (book Joe Tracz), and developed with award-winning illustrator David O’Neill, Monstersongs is a multimedia experience. Broadway Records released the world premiere recording and it is an official selection of the National Alliance of Musical Theatre’s Festival of New Musicals.
