Dante’s Inferno wouldn’t seem like likely material for a stage musical. But even less promising stories have been turned into hit musicals.
So Benjamin Halsted (book/lyrics) and Joey Contreras (music) forged ahead and created Heartbreakers in Hell, which looks at nine types of heartbreakers and the place each occupies in hell, as Dante leads the viewer into each circle of hell to find the tortures lurking there.
Rubber City Theatre which became Akron’s first equity theater last year, is presenting the musical for the first three weekends in October, perhaps setting the mood for a bit of Halloween horror.
Tickets are $10-$35. Get them at rubbercitytheatre.com/heartbreakers.
