The theatrical adaptation of the hit hockey romance TV series previously had a sold-out, eight-performance concert run and will now have a full staging.
Grab your ginger ale! Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody will open off Broadway for eight weeks only this spring at the 6th Floor Theater at 530 West 27th St. (formerly The McKittrick Hotel). Performances run from May 12 to June 28, with opening night on May 26.
Inspired by the hit TV show, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody follows the forbidden romance between professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

The cast of Broadway stars includes Jay Armstrong Johnson (Parade) as Ilya Rozanov and Jimin Moon (Sunset Boulevard) as Shane Hollander alongside Ryann Redmond (Frozen), Cherry Torres (Hamilton), and Ryan Duncan (Gettin’ the Band Back Together). All but Moon reprise their roles from the concert production; Moon replaces Zachary Noah Piser.
Johnson will not perform from June 15-22.
