She’s the world’s first vampire.
For a thousand years, she ruled the night.
Now, she’s thirsty for more.
Step inside the seductive world of BLOOD/LOVE, New York’s new pop opera that transforms the classic vampire tale into an ultra-contemporary theatrical extravaganza. Under the sultry lights of a nightclub, The Crimson, the former queen of the underworld searches for an existence beyond eternal bloodshed. But her endless night changes when she meets a mortal soul with his own devilish secret.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Blood/Love
'Blood/Love' Off-Broadway review — vampire pop opera sings and dances through life as an immortal
7 / 10
It’s a great hodgepodge of vampire tropes, some of which work better than others under Hunter Bird's direction — such as a great bit of staging where Valerie and her vampire companions admire themselves in a mirror and see no reflections, only their clothes. However, none of the themes feel fully fleshed out enough for an emotional payoff.
‘Blood/Love’: The vampire pop opera thirsty for your attention
8 / 10
So much talent has been amassed for this production that it’s difficult to parse it all out. At many points, it gives Phantom of the Opera vibes, which makes sense. Director Hunter Bird is part of the creative team for Masquerade, the immersive reimagining of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Blood/Love embraces a similar heady mix of sentimental camp and romantic gothic drama, but with a contemporary beat.
