Escape From Bellevue

With driving rock ‘n’ roll and darkly comic monologues, Escape From Bellevue takes audiences on a whirlwind ride as Knockout Drops’ dynamic front man Christopher John Campion chronicles the band’s travails in the music biz as well as his own surreal escapades under the influence. The story centers on Campion’s three trips to the world’s most foreboding and infamous mental institution, Bellevue Hospital, and climaxes with his infamous escape during his second stay – rumored to be the first to escape from the notorious establishment since 1963. Directed by Alex Timbers and propelled by the songs of Knockout Drops, performed live, Campion’s monologues and outrageous video segments come together in this combustible cocktail, blitzing the senses in a wild rock-theater hybrid.
