Fringelog 2010: Famished, The Musical ***1/2 (***** for the last ten minutes)

Ok, this play should be awesome. And it so nearly is. But its flaws are unfortunately fairly severe. There are approximately 10 minutes of the play in which you will completely forget all those flaws, and they’re at the end. I won’t tell you anything about those ten minutes, because that would be a spoiler, but those ten minutes are incredibly awesome in a totally random sort of way.

For the rest, it’s just too stretched out. The zombies appear too late, too slowly, and other than some mildly amusing gags nothing really happens. The singing is also, unfortunately, not that great. A couple of characters in particular really have trouble with their singing lines. But none of this really makes it unwatchable, it just means there’s more build up than necessary for the ending.

Also, they give out buttons. I <3 Brains buttons. Which is pretty awesome.
