Evil Librarian: A New Musical

Evil Librarian: A New Musical is a devilishly fun stage adaptation of Michelle Knudsen’s bestselling YA novel series, brought to life by the Landless Theatre Company. The story follows Cynthia Rothschild as she juggles saving her school’s musical from disaster, navigating her own crush, and rescuing her best friend Annie from the clutches of the dangerously attractive new librarian—who happens to be a demon with horns, bat-like wings, and a taste for life force. With a clever pop-rock score and laugh-out-loud twists, the show is pitched as a supernatural teen romance perfect for fans of *Wicked*, *Mean Girls*, and *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*. A special VIP performance on Saturday, June 20 at 2pm includes a book signing and talkback with author Michelle Knudsen and composer Andrew Lloyd Baughman.
