THIS
SHOW "SUCKS"
(In
a good way)
LOS
ANGELES, CA - Like a good book, Dracula,
the Musical Nightmare, enwraps you in its new twist
of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The play within a play works
wonderfully and takes the audience back to the grand tradition
of vaudeville. As the production's Emcee, Chauncey DeVille
has manic energy that drives the entire evening. His back-up
singers are particularly amusing in their various supporting
roles. With genuine 'creepy' moments, Dracula the Musical
certainly captures the right atmosphere for Halloween. - R.

THIS
END UP!
If
adding musical numbers to one of the best disaster movies of our
times sounds like an evening of fun, Poseidon
Adventure: The Musical delivers. The show
remains faithful to the 1972 movie with each of the actors
capturing the spirit of the original actors who made the movie a
classic, many of which were Academy Award winners. But the
evening isn't all laughs; musical numbers, like "In the
Water, I'm a very Skinny Lady" sung by the Shelley Winters
character invokes honest moments of pathos. You've got to
give a lot of credit to those who produced the show, just wait
'til you see how the tidal wave flips the ship in a black box
theater. - R. Harker
