Glennalicious: I'm going on a killing spree

I'm going on a killing spree

I get to go see this with Jerry on Thursday night.

I love the original films, so I'm quite intrigued by a musical version. People have said that my singing is like the undead.

UPDATE: The show was fantastic. The same whimsy and gore of the films was present in the show, especially with numbers like "All the men in my life keep getting killed by Candarian demons" and "What the F__K was that?"

You have to have seen the films first, otherwise many of the jokes will be lost on you. The songs are occasionally weak, but the dance of "Let's do the Necronomicon" was an ideal blend of Rocky Horror with more gore. The coherence of the plot is actually better than the original films, plus the ability to have fake blood sprayed across the first five rows makes it fairly interactive. The audience really loves to participate, yelling out during certain scenes. Boomstick!

If you liked the films, go see the show.

I hate to disappoint you, but it's pretty lame.

My advice is to get good and liquored up beforehand.

Cole Porter, Ethel Merman, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, and others are spinning in their graves, which is probably apropos considering the content of this musical.

I'm absolutely convinced now that nothing is sacred.
