La Jolla Playhouse presents the world premiere of “Grim,” an irreverent, hilarious and heartbreaking musical that celebrates life… and death.
After 300,000 years collecting souls, the Grim Reaper is retiring. All that stands between his daughter, Diana, and the big job is a simple test. That is, until she unexpectedly falls for dorky human teen Josh and the beautiful chaos of humanity, planet Earth… and the DMV. If she loves life, can Diana really be in charge of ending it?
Reaping souls is hard. Growing up is harder.
Led by director Sammi Cannold, the accomplished creative team includes musical comedy trailblazers Joey Orton and Brad Silnutzer, with songwriters Petro AP and Scott Hoying . With an infectious score, delightfully cheeky humor and piercing insights, viewers can expect to laugh, cry and be deeply moved.
“Grim” runs through Nov 29. Learn more and get tickets here.
