Nevermore - The Imaginary Life & Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe
Apr 24, 2025 thru Apr 27, 2025 - 7:30pm-9:30pm
Robert E. Johnson Theatre (MSU) // Price Doyle Fine Arts Center 106 - Murray
270-809-4421
This unique and wildly theatrical musical combines haunting music and poetic storytelling to chronicle the fascinating life of iconic American writer Edgar Allan Poe. A literary rock star of his day, Poe struggles with tragedy and addiction, poverty and loss, yet produces some of the world's most original, visionary and enduring literature before dying in unexplained circumstances at the age of 40. At once gorgeous and grotesque, Nevermore explores the events that shape Poe's character and career, blurring the line between fact and fiction--after all, as Poe himself writes, "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
Free admission for Murray State students. Tickets are $20.

This crowd-pleasing musical is inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley. It's 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy that'll have you jumpin' out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as "Heartbreak Hotel," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Don't Be Cruel."
Showtimes are Friday and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 2:30pm.
