escape from Bellevue... AUGUST 4th: FINAL 2007 PERFORMANCE!!!
 
“Escape From Bellevue offers a lesson in how to approach the [rock musical] genre”
- New York Times
 
"(Campion) will leave you laughing at his breakneck journey to the bottom" - The Villager

"This schizzed-out, fire-and-ice hybrid show alternates between a sizzling, foot-stomping concert by indie rock band Knockout Drops and a hilariously harrowing monologue from its lead singer, Christopher John Campion, on his odyssey through the darkest underbelly of the rock world..."
- Flavorpill

"Rocking music and a heartfelt autobiographical confession...Escape from Bellevue is one not to miss" - New Theater Corps

"Campion's hilarious circular tale could only have taken place in New York. He vividly brings the artist's Greenwich Village of yore to life, and his descriptions of Bellevue's atmosphere and fellow patients both tickle and provide the perfect amount of noir...fine storytelling and musical sensibility...vibrantly acted monologues and catchy tunes...the perfect high-energy soundtrack.”
