Seven years in the making and featuring over fifty artists onstage, Karen O's STOP THE VIRGENS is Vivid LIVE's most ambitious undertaking yet. Created by Karen O, the frontwoman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in collaboration with KK Barrett, production designer behind Being John Malkovich and Lost In Translation, and indie theatre/film director Adam Rapp (Red Light Winter, In Treatment) the self described 'Psycho Opera' transcends the traditional boundaries of popular music, theatre and performance.
