'Twilight: The Musical': Five Reasons To Go


It's a Parody
Although we take our "Twilight" very seriously, it's sometimes just as entertaining to make light of the saga's more melodramatic, overwrought elements. And when a parody is executed well, it can be a delightful companion piece to the source material. It also helps to manage your expectations accordingly.

"To be completely honest, I wouldn't say that they were incredibly high," Wilkinson said of her expectations going in. "Mostly because this is an off-Broadway production, and from what we were told when we first arrived, they'd only been practicing for about 24 hours. So I didn't have the highest expectations going in, but I think for the time they had it turned out really well."

Vampires and Wizards That Sing!
This is a musical after all, so we are happy to hear that the songs, while campy at times, don't suck. Wilkinson said that one in particular is likely to get stuck in your head, a catchy little ditty called "Die Bella Die." Apparently and appropriately, it's Hermione's villainous theme song.

The Inside Jokes

In addition to dialogue lifted straight from Melissa Rosenberg's screenplays, the production pokes fun at a few memorable and slightly maligned moments, one of which Wilkinson said stood out for its laugh-out-loud factor.
