My overall impression

I am so sick of “Horror” musicals that aren’t actually scary. Nor making any effort to be scary. The fact that the three actors playing the werewolves are fantastic singers, and that there are at least three decent songs, can’t make up for the disjointed mess that is the script. Nonsensical would be a polite way to put it, but jumbled excuse to get to the next song would be more apt.
I wonder sometime if Jesse Merlin gets tired of being good in bad productions or if it’s just his thing.
The whole production couldn’t seem to decide if they were doing a serious show or a camp revue. In the end all I could think was that if it were just a little better or a little worse I’d enjoy it more.
