By Ernest Kearney — The Cherry Poppins Productions have embraced a formula which has served them well in Hollywood Fringe after Hollywood Fringe – satire, song and strippers.
And to judge by the raucous reception given them by the audience, of which I was among, that combo has lost none of its potency.
This year’s offering of Craftlesque, written by Alli Miller with Sarah Haworth taking on the director’s duties, is a burlesque lampooning of the 1996 horror fantasy film The Craft and is exactly what it ought to be: a sexy, silly songfest.
Statuesque Shannon Glasgow takes on the Robin Tunney role of the troubled, new girl enrolled in a Catholic High School, who falls in with a coven of nubile witches. Glasgow brings to the part a surprisingly beautiful voice.
Cassandra Nuss, Markesha Chatfield and Heath Butler delight as the wicked witches in pleated skirts, while Brin Hamblin, Lauren Avon, Madeleine Heil and Sabrina Moisoyev personify the magical elementals that our smoking sorceresses evoke with spirit.
Writer Miller takes on a trio of roles usually managing to snatch the lime light with her solid comedic skills.
Sack loads of laughs, sweet tunes and lap dances for the fortunate few.
Sounds like a GOLD MEDAL to me.
