MUSOC is proud to present the New Zealand premiere of…

Nerdy Prudes Must Die

At Hatchetfield High, surviving high school is hard enough. But when the ghost of infamous bully Max Jägerman returns with a score to settle, Peter Spankoffski, Stephanie Lauter, Grace Chastity, Richie Lipschitz and Ruth Fleming find themselves fighting for more than just their reputation. Blending horror, comedy and a killer rock score, Nerdy Prudes Must Die is a chaotic musical about what happens when high school drama turns into the end of the world.

Disclaimer: Show rated R for language, suggestive sexual content. Contains mild violence/gore.
