Book, music & lyrics by Sean Matthew Whiteford.

After being pushed over the edge by the most popular kids at school, four-eyed wallflower Nancy Nelson cries to the heavens for help! But it is Satan who hears her cry. The Devil transforms Nancy into a big-haired, foul-mouthed, sex bomb rocker who's hungry for souls, and sweet revenge is on the menu! Who will save Nancy? And will the power of love for who she really is break the spell before it’s too late?
“I love this rock'n roll horror spectacular because it has a ton of heart and pathos, centering on the very human need to be loved and accepted. It’s the ultimate love letter to the 80s—musically and stylistically.” – Director Rachel Klein
