Review by NATHAN WELLMAN

IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot certify this reviewer attended a performances of this show because no ticket was purchased through this website or the producer has not verified they attended.

My overall impression

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!
