Cast of Prime Video series 'Hazbin Hotel' glam it up at NYC premiere
New York City (Release): Prime Video held its NYC special screening of its new series 'Hazbin Hotel' at New York's AMC Empire 25 on January 8. At the premiere, the first three episodes were screened with creatives and cast in attendance including creator and showrunner Vivienne Medrano and stars Erika Henningsen, Stephanie Beatriz, Blake Roman, Keith David, et al, and composers Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg.
Later at the 'Don't Tell Mama' reception, original 'Hazbin Hotel' songs 'Happy Day in Hell' and 'Poison' were performed by Erika Henningsen and Blake Roman, in addition to other classic showtunes sung by other cast members.
'Hazbin Hotel' follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, she opens a hotel in the hopes that patrons will be "checking out" into Heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal, her devoted partner Vaggie, and their first test subject, adult-film star Angel Dust, stick by her side. When a powerful entity known as the 'Radio Demon' reaches out to assist Charlie in her endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
Created by Vivienne Medrano, 'Hazbin Hotel' is based on her popular animated pilot released on YouTube in 2019.
'Hazbin Hotel' will premiere on Prime Video on January 19, 2024.
