The New York City premiere of The Exorcist took place 40 years ago this very night, and Orgasmico Theatre Company has marked the occasion by creating a hilarious, hard-rocking and fourth-wall-breaking musical comedy entitled Exorcistic: The Rock Musical Parody Experiment, which runs throughout this month as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
