Yes, the musical. You read that right.
Those of you who are familiar with the 1985 cult classic movie Re-Animator, directed by Stuart Gordon and based on the 1922 H.P. Lovecraft book "Herbert West: Reanimator," will want to check out this musical adaptation.
Gordon is back directing the musical, assembling the original special effects gang from the movie to work on the effects for the musical. According to the bit I heard on NPR, the first few rows of seats are neatly wrapped in plastic...giving you an idea of the lengths to which the special effects team went to give the audience a realistically gory experience.
Check out the link below to the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood for dates and times. The run has been extended to May 29, so Re-animator fans can still take in a show. Just remember to wear washable clothes...or a raincoat... if you plan on sitting in the front row.
