Dracula's Taste Test

What I liked

Opinions provided without spoilers.

I liked the pre-show vibe of visible warm-up.

I love a slightly desperate, off his game Dracula, and Marz pulls him off beautifully.

Banter between Ryan and Marz is akin to Kermit and Scooter from The Muppet Show. You love it when they needle it each other. Such a good groove.

I liked the variety show format. Once it’s established, one never knows where the show might go. The element of surprise was used perfectly and made for a TON of belly laughs.

I like a fun circus parade of goofy monsters and singing along to not so random goth and pop tunes…and that’s what you get with an hour of DTT!

What I didn't like

I really wanted Frankenstein’s Creature to have some green on him, or something to indicate that he’s really the character. Up against the wackiness of the Hunchback and the super creepy creepiness of the Creep, Corey’s appearance felt out of place. Not sure if that was intentional or not. Bolts, at least? Very funny, though. Corey never fails to deliver a helluva performance.

I’d like to see a little more audience interaction with Drac up front or during the show. Other interactions were hysterical. Thanks for the Milk Duds, Creep! :)

My overall impression

Overall impression was this production is so much damn fun! Thank you Marz, Ryan, CJ and everyone involved for putting so much love and effort into an ode not only to classic movie monsters but also lounge lizard karaoke. I hope to catch it again before end of Fringe! Excellent show! Way to keep Fringe weird!
