| My Darlings Are Coming to Get Jack GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE KIP WINGER AND ACCLAIMED WRITER/DIRECTOR DAMIEN GRAY TO DEBUT NEW MUSICAL THRILLER GET JACK IN TWO CONCERT PRESENTATIONS ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2017 AT SIR STUDIOS Grammy Award-nominated composer and rock icon Kip Winger, in his theatrical composing debut, and acclaimed writer/director Damien Gray (Atomic the Musical) will present two concert presentations of their new musical thriller GET JACK on Monday, October 30 at SIR Studios, 520 W 25th St. The concerts are invitation-only. And now if you will, a murder review, where 5 fallen women make their bloody debut. A legend is born as blood drips from a knife and this is the story I’m telling tonight. One of the most murderously debated, debunked, and devoured tales of all time gets ‘ripped’ to guitar shreds as five female victims of Jack the Ripper rise from the dead to track down their killer and get their glorious revenge.
