My overall impression

I grew up watching ALIENS. There was a summer where my brothers and I would watch it three times a day. Occasionally we’d throw ALIEN in to switch it up. Whenever we had family gatherings, my brothers, all our cousins and I would play ALIENS in our basement. One kid would be the “alien” and the rest of us (marines) had to do several laps around the basement to safely get back to the sulaco. Anyone who got wasted by the “alien” became an “alien” as well and would try to kill the rest of us. I love ALIEN and ALIENS and I loved Alien Vs. Musical. I apologize to those around me when I was cheering loudly and losing my shit pretty much throughout the performance. Forever I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get my beloved xenomorph on stage and Erik Przytulski, Steve Troop, Matthew Tyler and their wonderful cast did that amazingly. Their actors did a tremendous job singing, acting and puppeteering. Along with their fantastic accompanist Emily Cohn, Alien Vs. Musical keeps audience members thoroughly entertained with the catchiest of songs/lyrics, costuming, puppetry and seamless transitions. I cannot recommend this show enough and plan on seeing it again.

Go see this show – you won’t be disappointed!

P.S. I suggest Alien Vs. Musical start a crowd-surfing campaign to get their soundtrack recorded. Game over, man. Game over.
