Off the Beaten Path: A Fantasy Musical Where You Choose the Ending!

Off the Beaten Path is a hilarious, heart-pounding, interactive fantasy musical where you decide what happens next. Will the rogue betray the party? Can the orcs dance their way to redemption? Is that sword fight going to end in glory or disaster?

Expect dancing orcsepic sword fights, and tunes that will live rent-free in your head for days. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably want to come back again—just to make sure your favourite hero doesn’t meet their fate this time...
