About Blood/Love
See this new pop opera about a vampire, a mortal, and the love that can't keep them apart. Blood/Love in New York comes from one of the creative minds behind Masquerade and two acclaimed choreographers from Dancing with the Stars. Together, they have created a timeless story about eternal love... if the vampire and her mortal man can make it last.
Blood/Love off Broadway plays a limited run this February and March at Theatre 555. The new show follows Valerie Bloodlove, the world's first vampire and former queen of the underworld. The show takes place at a sultry, decadent nightclub — The Crimson — where she seeks a life beyond bloodshed. But, can she handle the trials of the heart? She soon meets a mortal man with a dark secret, and a challenge like no other unfolds.
