In 2004, James Wan trapped two men in a grimy bathroom and redefined horror for a generation. Two decades later, that same legendary trap is being sprung in Uptown Dallas – but this time, it comes with jazz hands, camp and a surprising amount of heart.
Following a riotous run in New York and a hit national tour, SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody is finally bringing its signature carnage to Theatre Three. This production is not a retelling, it’s a raucous reinterpretation, daring to explore the homoerotic subtext between protagonists Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight, that fans so love to debate. The talented cast and crew have managed to turn a grim survival story into a darkly hilarious and raunchy romance.
What to expect
While SAW The Musical is full of laughs, be fairly warned: it is not for the faint of heart. Staying true to the spirit of the film saga, the production features unapologetic adult humor, simulated gore and intense strobe lights.
For die-hard Saw fans and newcomers alike, this six-week run promises an experience that is equal parts thrilling and transformative.
From Off-Broadway to Uptown Dallas
The show’s arrival in Dallas follows an acclaimed Off-Broadway run in 2023 and a hit national tour that have solidified its status as a genuine word-of-mouth hit. The production so hilariously preserves the high-stakes tension of the original film while fully committing to the delightful absurdity of a singing, dancing Jigsaw. Now, it’s finally Dallas’ turn to see what all the fuss is about!
