From the creators of Attend the Tale of Danny Tanner: A Full House Musical and Jersey Shore: The Musical, the world premiere of ALL THAT JAWS, a Sharktastic new musical, will reacquaint you with the sea with an absurd, comical, and musical re-imagining of the world's first summer blockbuster. The original film came out in 1975 and some of us still won't go into the ocean. Audiences will enter the mind of Jaws as the musical takes original and whimsical stabs at this classic horror film.

When a lonely great white shark named Jaws comes to the small island community of Amity looking for friendship, his plans are thwarted by his unfortunate instinct to eat everything and everyone around him. It's up to Martin Brody, Amity's new chief of police, to bring hold Jaws accountable for his actions.
