About the Show:
“We Are The Tigers”
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Preston Max Allen
“We Are The Tigers” is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global. www.broadwaylicensing.com.
The Tigers’ high school cheerleading squad is meeting for their annual sleepover at captain Riley’s house—and they’ve brought all their teenage baggage with them. From love triangles and viral cheer stunts gone wrong to one very lustful boyfriend, team bonding is about to get complicated. But when one of the Tigers turns up dead in the front yard, the night spirals into a hilarious whodunnit with pom-poms.
With a pop-driven, belty score and a seriously silly book, “We Are The Tigers” is part “Mean Girls”, part “Scream” — and all high school drama. Audiences will be cheering for the Tigers as the Tigers learn to cheer for themselves.
Performances will be held at Lambertville Hall, with general admission tickets priced at $25 and premium Splatter Zone seating at $35 (includes protective oversized T-shirt). Tickets will be on sale soon. The show is rated PG-13 for language and content.
