New York, NY (May 26, 2026) – Production photos were released today from Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody. Written by Dylan MarcAurele and directed by Alan Kliffer, the highly anticipated musical officially opens Off-Broadway tonight at 6th Floor Theater at The Culture Club at 530 West 27th St (formerly The McKittrick Hotel). To download photos, click here.
Additionally, it was announced today that Canada Dry Ginger Ale has partnered with Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody to serve up some sips during one of the most talked-about musicals of the year. Throughout the show, ginger ale serves as a subtle but meaningful symbol of comfort and connection, making the partnership a natural fit. Canada Dry Ginger Ale will be integrated on-stage and in-theater, including custom drink offerings that give fans a refreshing way to feel even more connected to the story they love.
Tickets are available at https://www.heatedrivalryparody.com/.
Inspired by the hit show about hockey, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody follows starry-eyed golden boy Shane Hollander on his journey from power center to power bottom.
Relive all of the moments from the show that made you wet (with tears) up close on the small-stage by an incredible cast of Broadway actors who thought they were auditioning to be in Season 2. Sporting a bop-infused score, scene-stealing cameos by characters like “Rose Landry” and “Ilya’s Ass”, and time jumps absolutely no one can keep track of, audiences will find themselves hot, bothered, and probably saying, “….Girl!”
Because with love, sometimes it comes when you least expect it… and sometimes, it comes hands-free. So, grab a Canada Dry and join us for this hot and steamy romp!
The cast also features Jay Armstrong Johnson as ‘Ilya Rozanov’ and Jimin Moon as ‘Shane Hollander’, with Ryann Redmond, Cherry Torres, and Ryan Duncan rounding out the ensemble, and Shelby Acosta and Daniel Brackett as standbys.
The creative team for Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody includes Dylan MarcAurele (Book, Music, Lyrics and Orchestrations), Alan Kliffer (Direction), Brooke & Tiffany Engen (Choreography), Mateo Chavez (Music Direction), Sully Ross (Scenic Design), Brendan McCann (Costume Design), Devin Cameron (Lighting Design), Germán Martinez (Sound Design), and Ann James (Intimacy Coordinator/Sensitivity Specialist).
Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody is produced by Klif Entertainment.
