What I liked

The cast are great comedians, songwriters, performers and musicians. The songs are fun, catchy, and funny as hell. Lots of great attention to detail in the props, and the audio/video components of the show as well.

What I didn't like

Playing arena rock in a small club, some of the lyrics are bound to get lost amidst the metal guitars. Hell Kross does what they can to make up for this by including the lyrics in the program.

My overall impression

This could be my favorite show of the Fringe! As an 80’s metalhead, who lived through the Judas Priest trial and the PMRC hearings, and whose life was greatly shaped by 80’s metal bands, this hilarious high energy show hit close to home and spoke to me while making me laugh out loud. If you’re a fan of Steel Panther, this is your play! I’ll be back to see this show again, and I’ll bring friends and family.
