BOB LEGGETT certified reviewer June 20, 2014
Werewolves features Orgasmico regulars Sarah Chaney, Jim Hanna, Leigh Wulff, Jesse Merlin, David Haverty and Fisher, and introduces us to Alex Lewis, Hannah Johnson, Laura L. Thomas, Kyle Nudo and Marc Jablon, all of which continue to bolster the credibility of this company. See the rest of the review at Examiner.com.... full review

TARA PRICE uncertified reviewer June 20, 2014
A musical about werewolves? Sold! What a blast this show is! An entirely new take on the classic werewolf story with just enough camp and creep factor to leave you howling in your seat. Brought to life by a cast of immensely talented actors (seriously not a weak link in the bunch) with some real standout performances from Leigh Wulff (her gorgeous singing voice will slay you,) Michael Shaw Fisher (the guy has got crazy stage presence,) and Jim Hanna (who had me in fits of laughter from the second he stepped on stage.) A perfect Fringe show with it's simple yet effective choreography, fantastically entertaining storyline, and rock and roll music that profoundly ranged from intense and moving (Wulff's ballad is quite haunting) to downright abs... full review

When it comes to the Hollywood Fringe, you never know what are you going get, so when a performance goes way beyond the "gong show" talent level it's always a pleasant surprise. This show fills positively every category that a musical has to achieve including an interesting story, memorable songs, great lyrics...and most important...singers that can belt out and can sing well...having seen way over 550+ show performances in the last eight years...take my advise and don't miss this show...... full review
NATHAN WELLMAN uncertified reviewer June 22, 2014
The sheer ambition and scope of this piece is worth the 'Amazing' button all by itself, with a narrative ranging from Age of Enlightenment Europe to 2008 America, smashing together the financial crisis, werewolves, sexual repression/aggression, vampires, and what it means to be human into a spicy burrito of rock music that'll blast you out of your seat, if only you could get your toes to stop tapping. Perhaps more importantly, this show makes werewolves fucking COOL, depicting them more as badasses with unspeakable power rather than tortured Bruce Banner types who spend the whole narrative whining about how misunderstood they are. Somebody let Michael Fisher write a werewolf movie, for crying out loud!... full review

KURT GARDNER certified reviewer June 23, 2014
Michael Teoli’s rocking score is nicely performed by a four-piece band, and there’s fun choreography by Michelle LaVon. Director Aaron Lyons keeps it all running smoothly, and there’s certainly not a dull moment.... full review
