My overall impression
There are some REALLY funny moments in this horror-based sketch review. There are musical numbers that rock. And, your hostess, Hemophelia (the vivacious Lara Fisher) keeps things light and sexually charged during transitions with not just a nod but a sweeping genuflection in the direction of Elvira.
Some of the premises are creaky and a smidge under-cooked. But, I saw the first performance and I have no doubt that things will get tighter and funnier as the show progresses. There is also some genuine Theatricality (note the capital “T”) at moments. My personal faves are a grand guignol scene where a man is being slowly eviscerated, one organ at a time over the course of several days, the scene with the puppet and the virgin sacrifice.
A fun nightcap to a heavy day of Fringing.
