A Rocky Horror meets Bladerunner rock opera / movie musical, its cult status keeps growing like an insane mash-up of Andrew Lloyd Webber meets Saw!!  In the year 2056 – the not-so distant future – an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family’s mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.  With Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy‘s Giles), Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, and Alexa Vega.

“All-out thriller with few Bond touches but plenty of high-octane action.” – Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter

“The case for its quality is solid, the music is catchy, and “Repo!” may just destined for cult royalty.” – Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
