Usually, plays are turned into movies, e.g., My Fair Lady, A Streetcar Named Desire, Romeo and Juliet. Sometimes, however, it's the other way around. That's the case with Twilight: The Musical an off-Broadway production that pokes fun at both the Twilight movies and the Harry Potter movies. The show's makers describe it as "a parody of the Twilight saga in the vein of Urinetown and The Rocky Horror Picture Show." [Photo: Jared Zirilli as Jacob Black kissing Meghann Fahy as Bella Swan in Twilight: The Musical.] Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley are the three villains in Twilight: The Musical. Tellingly, Hermione's theme song is "Die, Bella, Die." Written by Ashley Griffin, directed by Gabriel Barre, and featuring songs composed by Griffin, with lyrics by Jeremy Ezell, Ashley Griffin, Sean Mahoney, David Mallamud, and Michael Sutherland, Twilight: The Musical had a one-night-only presentation on Monday, Jan. 16, at the New World Stages.

New York — When "Dreamgirls" helmer Bill Condon took over direction of "The Twilight Saga," more than a few cheeky journalists wondered if he'd treat fans to a bloodsucking song-and-dance extravaganza. Alas, vogueing Volturi weren't meant to be — at least on the big screen. They have, however, found a temporary home on the New York City stage in the form of "Twilight: The Musical." The off-Broadway parody production premiered Monday night at the New World Stages, raising money for the charity Blessings in a Backpack.
Written by Ashley Griffin and directed by Gabriel Barre, "Twilight: The Musical" is, for now, staged as a concert reading, meaning that the actors hold scripts throughout the show. But the cheat sheets did little to diminish the enthusiasm of the oft-hilarious production.
