New York theater fans, prepare to suspect everyone in the room. Traitorz: The Unauthorized Musical Parody is bringing the backstabbing, celebrity impersonations, and deliciously dramatic twists of The Traitors to Off-Broadway this November. Because apparently, reality television wasn’t dramatic enough without a musical number.
The new production begins performances November 4, 2026, at St. Luke’s Theatre, with opening night scheduled for November 13. Located at 308 West 46th Street, the theater will become the setting for a campy, interactive send-up of the hit reality competition series.
Written by comedian Tim Murray, who also contributes the lyrics, with music by Newsies songwriter Ben Fankhauser, Traitorz promises a theatrical twist on the game’s familiar battle between Traitors and Faithfuls. Alan Kliffer and Murray direct, while Dylan Adler hosts as Alan Cumming—the deliciously dramatic face of the original television competition.
The celebrity lineup is gloriously unexpected. Impressionists portray personalities including Jennifer Coolidge, Britney Spears, Ozzy Osbourne, Liza Minnelli, Morgan Freeman, and Patti LuPone. There is even a portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth, because apparently the casting department decided ordinary reality-show contestants weren’t quite enough.
But the biggest twist? Audience members will get to join the game onstage. That means theatergoers won’t necessarily be able to sit back, enjoy the show, and quietly judge everyone else’s decisions. You might actually become part of the drama.
For fans searching for new Off-Broadway shows in NYC, reality TV-inspired theater, or interactive musical comedy, Traitorz looks ready to deliver an evening of camp, celebrity impressions, and theatrical suspicion.
Tickets start at $39, making this a tempting addition to New York’s fall entertainment calendar.
So gather your most suspicious friends, practice your innocent expression, and prepare to question absolutely everything.
At Traitorz, the only thing more dangerous than a Traitor is someone who can sing.
