Description: Urban Arts Productions and the Maritime Museum of British Columbia invite you to embark on a dark, mysterious journey into the life of American poet Edgar Allan Poe. Nevermore is a bold, exciting musical that breaks boundaries, challenges audiences and brings Poe’s passion and obsessions to life in a most extraordinary way. Urban Arts is excited to bring back this haunting musical to Victoria audiences for the Halloween season, staging it in the original Supreme Courtroom of British Columbia located at the Maritime Museum of BC. With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe’s work and explores a twisted true-life tale as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre. It is a montage, a whirlwind, a dream, a life and a nightmare all in one.

Nevermore runs Thursdays through Saturdays from October 27th – 29th and from November 3rd – 5th, 2011 with a special midnight performance on October 29th. Tickets for this dark musical are available at the door beginning one hour prior to performance. Performances begin at 8:00pm and run for 90 minutes. Limited reserved advanced tickets are available online at www.urbanartsproductions.com. For more information, please contact Urban Arts Productions. Nevermore is presented with permission through and all materials provided by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW). Originally produced by Signature Theatre, Arlington Virginia.
