True it really should get a revival I mean If the rocky horror show can come back to life then this should definitely should come back as well suck a thumb is my favourite moment of the whoel show for two reasons one the big goofy scream conrad does when he sucks his thumb and two because of the livley and jumpy mannerisms of the scissor man and when he just stares back as conrad turns around another bit that's only in the live version is conrad running about stage and the poor kid yelps and the scissor man yanks his arms back and then once the scissor snips his thumbs off he pats him on the head 😂😂😂

True it makes you think why Burton never made a anthology movie about this book imagine the cleaver symbolism like the bully boys could be actual thugs who have phones with the words BullY BoZz, the tailor could have the scissors fused to his hands, Johnny head in the air could have a neck bracelet to help his head be fushed to the ground, agrippa might be a imorrtal wizard or the hare could be magical tlaking animal who wants to kill the hunter who's a trafficker who shoots people for fun and his wife makes cofee from thier bodily fluids

@@aaronmeade5435 Brilliant, I would love it! How do we beg him to make it happen?!

@@Cuezaltzin thank you I haven't the foggiest clue but hopefully it will happen any cool ideas yourself?

I was literally thinking the same thing when I saw the show today!!

With Julian Bleach as Count Olaf

Never, unfortunately.

+Ari Srabstein Hey Ari - who licenses the show?

Table 8 The company that licenses it in the United States is AO International. I have not seen it listed on their website, but I was contacted by them when I had written to S. Fischer Verlage (the company that licenses the show in Germany) about whether or not it was being performed in the US. They told me that they are the ones who handle the rights. The two companies in the US that produced it were Company One (Boston) and Green Valley Theater (Sacramento, California).

Table 8 Are you thinking of doing it for your theater company? If so, do you all have any ideas of how you are going to do it? Though I never saw Company One's production of Shockheaded Peter live, what I have seen of it online did not make me very happy. Mainly because of their interpretation of the M.C (or Theater Director as he's sometimes called in foreign productions). The original performer for the character was a man named Julian Bleach who played him as a ghoulish, Shakespeare obsessed actor who desperately tries to scare his audience but fails for the most part. His interpretation was reminiscent of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as well as the Master of Ceremonies from the musical Cabaret (as played by Joel Grey). Company One's interpretation of the character was as far away from Bleach's character as you can get. He (or in their production, she) was played by an actor who looked nothing like Bleach. Now I've only seen just a little bit of footage of her performance, but what I saw did not impress me. I also was disappointed that they didn't have the cast wear white face makeup which was part of the original show as well as many productions in Germany as well as Norway and Austria. That's one of my favorite parts of the show.

I saw this at Jeune Lune. I'm still feelin it.Loved it.

I envy you both. Where are they playing now?

Brad David It was ten years ago. The Tiger Lillies may be appearing somewhere, but I think this play is long gone.

#HildebrandJohnson:Thank you for that. Yeah, I'm sure it's long gone by now. They always surprise me. Their stuff is mostly "Brechtian Punk", then they come up with something more melodic, more lovely, even dreamy: "Thousand Violins", "Alone With the Moon". But the words are never trivial.

@@HildebrandJohnson Actually, I saw it just today!! It was performed at the Straz Center here in Florida. It was a different cast than that of the Tiger Lillies, but it was fantastic and spooky!!

Yes they are.
