Winner of both the 2018 Drama Desk and 2018 Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Music and Outstanding Lyrics, this witty and wild new musical comedy takes the Bard’s Measure for Measure and shakes things up.

When the dangerously handsome Johnny Blood’s life is on the line, he must put his fate into the hands of a colorful cast of characters including a mysterious sheriff, an eccentric priest, an authoritarian governor, a saloon girl gone good, and a nun out of the habit. Before the sun sets, will they rise up and pull off the greatest caper yet, or will Johnny be left hanging?

WARNING: This production includes recorded simulated gunshots.
