MN: Fringe by Numbers: Creators of Great ‘American Horror Movie Musical’ Not Too Scary
One thing that is certain. There is never a shortage of new oddball musicals in the Fringe. You can normally tell them by their titles which are followed by the words “The Musical!” In past years we’ve seen works such as Jaws: The Musical and Google: The Musical! This year we have been blessed by a number of musicals in this vein. There is even one titled Musical the Musical. The musical that this particular entry is about, however doesn’t have the words “The Musical” at the end of its title. No. It’s missing the word “the”. I’m talking about Great American Horror Movie Musical.
Looking the cast list over on the Fringe Festival website makes it clear that this production managed to get some real heavy-hitters to play ball. Some of the places you may have seen them before? The Ordway, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, Chanhassen Dinner Theaters, the History Theatre, and many more!
Before I go on any more, I’ll give you the official description of the show: “A criminal is at large; 7 brave filmmakers promise to hunt him down. Armed only with a camera, this kooky bunch sing and dance their way to making the greatest horror movie ever made - 80’s Karaoke Style!”
Yup. This isn’t technically an original musical. It is an original play with the music of the 1980’s providing the soundtrack, sort of in the same way as ABBA songs provide the soundtrack for Mamma Mia!
