Robot Monster the Musical

If you love camp, "bad" sci-fi, double entendre, and perfectly absurd music numbers, go see the marvelously self-aware "Robot Monster: The Musical". The actors and creators had fun with the source material and managed to extract some deeper meanings along the way. My showing was a bit of a bumpy ride, but have you seen the movie? True to form.... full review

What a fun, campy good time! I'm not familiar (yet) with the movie but I still had a blast! The actors give great, spirited performances and the play itself is properly ridiculous. Catchy music as well!... full review

I couldn't look away....ROBOT MONSTER was unlike anything I've seen at Fringe this year and I found myself enthralled. The performer who plays ROY throws himself into his role and never takes his foot off the pedal. Some of the musical numbers refuse to get out of my head. WOULD YOU TAKE ME BY THE HAND BY THE HAAAAND. WOULD YOU HIRE A BAND?! ... full review

A fun nostalgia filled tribute to the B movies of old! Fun characters, catchy songs and a story that will flood you with memories from the cheese filled movies you used to watch Saturday nights with your friends. Definitely worth checking out!... full review

Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge fan of the 1953 3-D movie Robot Monster - one of the best, worst movies ever made. So when I heard that there was going to be a Fringe Festival show "Robot Monster, The Musical" I immediately bought tickets. I had no idea what the show would be like, and whether it would pay homage to or mock the original source material. Robot Monster, The Musical turns out to be a lot of fun and obviously produced by fellow fans of the original movie. It finds a balance between being faithful to the source, while providing a lot of wink-wink campiness. Most of the dialog and scene direction is taken directly from the movie script, and the songs play strongly with some of the movie's most outrageous lines. ... full review

This musical had me smiling the whole time. Good, silly fun! The cast was great, great voices and performances. I'd see it again!... full review

Very funny!... full review

I've never seen the movie "Robot Monster"; now I want to. I laughed loud and often at this extremely silly and extremely fun romp. A lot of really good performances from almost everyone in the cast. Although some were stronger singers than others, I'd say the majority were in good voice. And I truly feel for the poor actor in that robot-helmeted gorilla suit for the whole show!... full review

As a fan of bad movies and zany theater, I was surprised by how difficult it was to sit through. committing basically every sin theatrically and musically, it seemed to drag forever, finding new ways to make me cringe each scene. The cast wasn't ready at the preview i saw, and I'm sure they'll improve, but bad direction and writing throughout holds back an otherwise great idea.... full review
