How we got there
The team joined together to design and script a theatrical rock show that reimagined the infamous Alice Cooper’s signature performance style, theatrical gags, as well as a few new surprises! The result brought fans closer to the action than ever before with video screens incorporated into the set that displayed the artist’s every sneer, make up smudge, and gruesome theatrics.
"A brand new stage show allowed Alice Cooper to bring out some new toys, as he sings about in “School’s Out” – and to return to some old, well-loved tricks as well."
Ultimate Classic Rock
“Incorporating elements of everything from vaudeville to horror flicks, he’s managed to keep his act fresh even 54 years removed from the release of the first Alice Cooper album, freshening things up again as he gears up for more dates this summer.”
