thebitterguyThank you, Scooter.
So, Cynra & I took in a couple of the selections at the TFF's Best of Fringe show.
First off was Giant Killer Shark, the Musical. Completely unrelated to any '70s blockbuster films about a shark attacking a small seaside town, it's about a small seaside town being attacked by a giant shark. Really, I'm a bad person, so when I go to the Fringe festival, I really want to see musical adaptations of pop cultural items, right? Mission accomplished. My only quibble is a shark would be so easy to make (at least a shark head). Just a few metres of foam rubber, some paint, presto. I'll bet AK could put it together in his sleep.
Swiss Family Guy Robinson wasn't as good, but I blame that on the lack of music and the booze on my part. It was an episode of the Family Guy, only they're the Robinson family and get stranded on an island on the way to New Guinea. It was done entirely by one guy, except when he got joined onstage by a guy in a giant chicken suit. He did an excellent job, mind you. I really liked the Superman and Paul Lynde cameos. I swear, they nested about eight flashbacks at one point.
Oh, yeah: Kermit's "O" face? It's that flaily thing he does when he's excited. That just makes it all dirty, eh?
