PRO WRESTLING MUSICAL 'THE LAST MATCH' TO PLAY JERSEY CITY CONCERT THIS SEPTEMBER

Professional wrestling musical The Last Match will have a live concert performance of its theatrical event on 9/26 in Jersey City, NJ at the White Eagle Hall.

The plot of the show:

"BEN VENGEANCE  has been professional wrestling's biggest star for years, and tonight is his last match. With the weight of his legacy, the future of the organization, and the prospects of a peaceful retirement with his wife Jenny (a wrestling star in her own right) all on his shoulders, the evening promises to be anything but a quiet ride into the sunset.

?THE LAST MATCH,  just like the world of pro-wrestling, is chock full of colorful, bombastic entertainment mixing theater, rock, and live wrestling. This isn't your grandma's musical - unless your grandma is a total bad ass. "
