We Are The Tigers Is the Teen Horror Musical from a Lesbian Composer/Lyricist that You Need to Know

The new musical We Are The Tigers is now playing in Los Angeles, and we have an inside look and special price code for Shewired readers! The world premiere original musical - a dark comedy about friendships, rivalries, and secrets on a high school cheerleading team - was recently featured on The Advocate's list of "7 Things That Are Everything This Week" for its "fresh, often hilarious, and sometimes moving tale of trying to survive high school." Oh, and did we mention it's also a murder mystery?

And if you need another reason to cheer for We Are The Tigers, the original musical was written and composed by a lesbian playwright (our very own Rebekah Allen), covers queer themes, and features a cast of strong, dynamic female characters. That's a winner in our book! And you can hear a song from the show right now:
