Based on a little-known Grimm’s fairy tale, Godfather Death is an Offie award-winning and gleefully macabre new musical exploring mortality, healthcare and class.

When, in pure desperation, a mother seeks a Godfather for her 13th child, Death takes her boy under their blackened wing and offers him a gift far greater than money – the power to tell whether someone will live or die. Eager to keep those he loves alive but tempted by the accompanying fame and fortune, Godfather Death: A Grimm’s Musical follows the boy’s encounters with the ill, the dying and death itself. Welcome to this darkly comic and gleefully macabre world – there are no Disney endings here…
