My overall impression

BEST OF FRINGE — I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS ROCK MUSICAL.
DOOMSDAY CABARET – I’M A BELIEVER

From the moment I walked in I was enthralled! I could not stop smiling throughout the entire show.
I cannot say enough good things about this show.
Every single actor was absolutely wonderful to watch.
They were all engaging and I felt like I was part of the “group”.

SET: I was told after the show that the space was transformed for the show “the fool and the red queen” but it really worked for Doomsday Cabaret!

LIGHTING: Matthew Richter did a really nice job on the lighting. Again, making great use of the existing set.

MUSIC: The Doomsday Band were tight and awesome.
The show I saw had the alternate keyboardist, Richard Levinson, who was wonderful as usual.
Michael Shaw Fisher – Every single song you wrote was VERY good and VERY catchy. Every single cast member sang them really well.

CAST:
EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH
every actor was so committed to their character – so nice to see.
VERY REMINISCENT OF THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
The characters were over the top and I mean that in ONLY the BEST of ways!! I only wanted MORE!!!

Look out… The preachers wife can belt out a rock song! Chairman Barnes will make you want to sing… I Ching.

DeeDee + WebBot… WitWit, WhatWhat? More more!
Lady Vavoom made me raise my hand… Go for it girl, I wanted even more.

Michael Shaw Fisher’s character Eddie Suddick brought sleazy back into style ;) — YES — sign me up for your next group…

and David Havarty as the pyromaniac reminded me of "Meatloaf"and made me want to set his car on fire!

I’d love to see this fleshed out into a movie.
