Jane Austen's Emma Frankenstein

This show was so much fun! It's charming, fast-paced, and SO funny! The musical numbers are great, and the cast is absolutely stellar. Don't miss this one!... full review

Emma Frankenstein is a hilarious monster mash and moves briskly through the 1880s and the 1980s. Bravo... full review

A most excellent musical comedy! ... full review

Wow, best thing i have seen at the Fringe! A fantastic romp through these literary works of Jane Austen and Mary Shelley. Wonderful writing and energetic staging, with some funny musical numbers. A really entertaining show that made me wish for more at the end. ... full review

A hysterical and clever mixing of two literary classics essayed by a super-talented ensemble.... full review

Every Fringe season brings a new crop of silly spoofs, and this one falls squarely in The Middle: a High Concept that generates a hearty laugh from time to time but is weakened by a tepid "song score" which is dependent on sitcom theme songs from two generations ago. A talented cast, given striking costumes but nothing else to work with, is dominated by its men: Michael Lanahan, funny as a Victorian misogynist; Bryan Krasner, with a unique new take on "Frank" (the Monster), and Graham Skipper, wringing every ounce of Zach Galifanakis out of Dr Frankenstein. An over-the-top subplot involving a rivalry between a tiara-clad Jane Austen and a tiara-clad Mary Shelley fills out the speedy sixty minutes. ... full review

A delightful romp though a Jane Austin Mary Shelly mash up. Great recreations of the characters, and fun songs!... full review

Loved this when it started at Sacred Fools, and it's every bit as sharp and hilarious on the Fringe stage. An all-star cast squeezing every possible laugh possible out of an off-the-wall parody.... full review

Extremely entertaining. ... full review
