I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER: The Unauthorized Musical Slashes Into L.A. for Halloween
Following the success of unauthorized stage adaptations of Jennifer's Body and Psycho, El Cid (4212 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029) is ready to get LA into the Halloween spirit with I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Unauthorized Musical!
Adapted for the stage by Jordan Ross (Co-creator of Cruel Intentions: The Musical , The Unauthorized OC Musical) Produced and directed by Joey Bybee, #IKnowMusical - an immersive musical love letter to the iconic slasher film written by Kevin Williamson - begins performances with a VIP/press preview on Wednesday, October 3rd. Officially opening on Thursday, October 11th for a seven-week engagement.
Return to the cruel summer of 1997. In Southport, North Carolina back when Julie, Ray, Helen and Barry were out having fun, drinking, partying, running people over, and getting away with murder. But, when it becomes clear the truth is no longer six feet under, the friends quickly realize that it's not over until The Fisherman sings. Literally. Set to an array of 90s B-sides from Eve 6, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Third Eye Blind, The Verve Pipe, and more, #IKnowMusical is bound to have you singing and screaming your heart out. And, yes, Julie obviously sings Jennifer Love Hewitt's How Do I Deal as heard on the sequel soundtrack.

The musical will star Bianca Gisselle as Julie, Ryan Sutton Stevens as Ray, Greer Grammer (MTV's Awkward, The Unauthorized O.C. Musical) as Helen, Brian Logan Dales (Singer/songwriter of The Summer Set) as Barry, Matthew Scott Montgomery Disney Channel's So Random!), and Alli Miller as Sunny. Connor Weil (MTV's Scream) and Natalie Masini will serve as covers. The role of The Fisherman will be announced at a later date.
I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Unauthorized Musical is presented by El Cid with Artistic Producer, Joey Bybee and Ross' Pretty Bizarre Productions with Lighting Design by Kelsey Long.
