The Heroin Diaries Musical

The Heroin Diaries Musical is an all new musical inspired by the journals bassist Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe and SIXX:A.M.) kept during his heroin addiction. The book spent 28 weeks on The New York Times Bestseller list. Written by Todd Kreidler (Holler If Ya Hear Me, Radio Golf) and directed by David Esbjornson (The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, Driving Miss Daisy), the production is populated with characters from Nikki’s life and tells a rockstar’s journey through the opioid crisis to sobriety. The recent Netflix biopic The Dirt tells part of this journey, now the musical tells Nikki Sixx’s personal story for the first time.

Every eleven minutes, someone in the United States dies from an opioid overdose. The mission of the producers and creators of The Heroin Diaries Musical is to collaborate with a host of partners to create opioid awareness and destigmatize the disease. These partners include the National Opioid Action Coalition (NOAC), the United States Surgeon General and Mayor’s offices across the U.S. Nikki Sixx is heavily involved as an advocate for recovery and will make appearances and speak on behalf of the show and about this mission throughout the show’s life.

The Heroin Diaries Musical features classic Mötley Crüe songs, SIXX:A.M. songs, and new songs written by Nikki Sixx specifically for the musical, including “Talk To Me” and “Mother.”

The Heroin Diaries was the first-ever soundtrack created for a book, and now the first soundtrack to a book to be turned into a musical.

Key partners who are supporting the message of The Heroin Diaries include: iHeart Media, NOAC, Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Simon & Schuster, advertising agency WPP, the United States Surgeon General, and Faces & Voices of Recovery.

The Heroin Diaries Musical is produced by Nicole Tongue, Dennis Arfa, Randy Buck, and Allen Kovac.
