MURDER BALLAD Musical Kicks off RLTP's 20th Anniversary Season

Road Less Traveled Productions (RLTP) will begin its 20th anniversary season with its first ever musical, Murder Ballad, written by Julia Jordan with music and lyrics by Juliana Nash. Murder Ballad will open September 14 starring RLTP Ensemble member Anthony Alcocer alongside Leah Berst, Jenn Stafford and Ricky Needham under the direction of RLTP Ensemble Member Doug Weyand.

Synopsis:  A Downtown and Off-Broadway sensation, Murder Ballad was conceived by Jonathan Larson Award winner and two-time Susan Smith Blackburn Prize finalist, Julia Jordan, with book and lyrics by Jordan and music and lyrics by indie rock singer/songwriter, Juliana Nash.  Murder Ballad is a steamy and fun thriller with a razor's edge, a dramatic story of a love triangle gone wrong, centering on Sara, an uptown girl who seems to have it all with husband Michael, but whose downtown past with bad boy Tom lingers enticingly and dangerously in front of her. Murder Ballad is an exploration of love, lust, and betrayal set to a killer musical score.
