The Exorcist on Stage!

Written by John Pielmeier and based on the book by William Peter Blatty, the stage version of The Exorcist was originally produced in Los Angeles at the Geffen Playhouse in July of 2012. This production starred Brooke Shields and Richard Chamberlain.

Four years later, in October of 2016, The Exorcist made its UK debut at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. It starred Jenny Seagrove, Peter Bowles, and, most notably, Sir Ian McKellen as the voice of the devil.

The Birmingham production transferred to the Phoenix Theatre on London's West End and spooked audiences from October 2017 until March of 2018.

The show will begin its UK/Ireland tour this September and will be haunting such cities as Windsor, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen.

How long before this creepy contribution will be possessing the Great White Way in NYC?
