Review by SHARI BARRETT

June 16, 2017 broadway world

What I liked

While Jen Albert’s fight choreography was brilliant, we could not wait to get out of the theater and have a drink to calm our nerves.

What I didn't like

This show is definitely not for the faint of heart.

My overall impression

To say we were shocked by the violence in the show is an understatement. Granted, Steve Madar gives an amazing performance as the German serial killer Peter Kurten who vacillates between being a handsome rogue and a monster, and Arthur Keng is totally believable as the bewildered and naive attorney Justus Wehner sent to represent him, and Carolyn Deskin’s Frau Kurten was disturbing in her willingness to submit to such a monster.
