Creature from the Black Lagoon: The Musical at Universal Studios Hollywood

insideuniversal.net/ - Creature from the Black Lagoon: The Musical at Universal Studios Hollywood. Operated between July 2009 and September 2009.

[@rosebyanyname]

Fun fact: the actress playing Kay here is Katrina Lenk, who won the 2018 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for “The Band’s Visit.”

[@Expressionlesscorpse]

Rose Weldon who played Gil in this one

[@ShawnRavenfire]

Somebody was high when they wrote this.

[@TheCrabRepresentative]

A commentor has never been more right

[@Modyman]

Was telling my wife about this show and how weird it sounded (I never actually saw it live). We decided to watch, and low and behold the boat captain is a friend of mine 😂

[@RLucas3000]

That is so awesome! She is so awesome! I hope she is still performing and blowing people away with her amazing voice!

[@firstborncirillo]

My 4 yr old daughter watches this daily. Loves it.

[@oscarstropic]

I seriously enjoyed watching this live.

[@katiedoodles]

I wish I’d known this was a thing when it was still around because this is genuinely amazing

[@Miya-Bea]

The gill-man’s song is awesome

[@TheLlamaMaster]

It really did have pretty good production value. Too bad it was just so weird.

The things you have to suffer through in order to finally win a Tony...

[@elliet7212]

suffer is crazy this is a piece of art

[@themeltedchocolate]

@@elliet7212 it was a joke ;)

[@sickonshimmer]

Really wasnt expecting Love Me Dead by Ludo to be here lmao 1:26

[@JC-ov6li]

I'm so glad that Expedition Extinct video came out about this show, I would have never known about it otherwise. With a couple different uh, choices, it probably would have worked during HHN.

[@erikax.collazo5347]

I Love Creature from the Black Lagoon The Musical at Universal Studios Hollywood

[@spiteful_blaze6665]

The Gil-man acually look sort of hot..

[@DopeSam]

I watched this when I was nine, the ending scared me to death.

[@elliet7212]

this is literally the best thing i’ve ever seen

[@Isaac-bs7ym]

I'm sad they got rid of this show. I actually liked it. All it needs is a little update on dialogue, and lyrics, and it would be perfect!

[@myar3380]

I know right 👏🏾

[@erikax.collazo5347]

Me Too 😊

[@Thoralmir]

Part of the set burned down during the Bill & Ted show at HHN.

[@clarkmorgan4199]

Maybe they will update not during regular times, but maybe they'll update during Halloween Horror Nights.

[@joshsauer4725]

Would love to see them update it, but this time hire the guy who wrote the songs for Beetlejuice the musical. Or maybe just make an entire full fledged musical for Broadway with that. Would be pretty cool.

[@danninmatthews5640]

The gillman wasn't evil, he was an animal defending his home.

[@chloebraden7046]

Ok why is no one talking about the fact that Katrina Lenk is in this???

[@laurenw6120]

I CAME HERE FOR THIS THANK YOU NOW I WILL WATCH IT

[@meganfrigerio2274]

I KNEW IT! I had a feeling it was her. Unless it’s someone who looks like her

[@MistCLaneous]

Found this out today and couldn't believe it

[@NebLleb]

Spazzmaster bought me here.

[@Collageman90]

Me too.

[@PrismPhoenix]

Ben Bell same here

[@JoshFreilich]

WHY DOES THE GILLMAN LOOK LIKE THE PREDATOR?!?

[@alderating]

I remember seeing this and I may be one of a few but I enjoyed this

[@gameaction1269]

The lyrics and jokes are really bad,but the effects are really awesome,the giant creature puppet and his costume,and the scene where Kay swims

[@eatRiceKrispiespeople]

I love these!

[@vivianmcalexander9999]

Very good! Love it! 😃💖

[@ToaAxiomMan]

Someone must've been high and drunk when making this, I'm just imagining the thought process or pitch meeting behind the various strange choices like the Gillman being aussie for some reason and Kay getting swallowed by a giant Gillman

[@PrismPhoenix]

I can see why @RBGProds saw this as a terrible monstrosity. it's so underrated.

[@robinthompson8360]

Gill Man meets King Kong meets Little Shop of Horrors. The Australian-surfer accent has got to go. And whats with the voodoo lady?! Is the Black Lagoon in America,Australia, or Haiti?

[@cyberberry7506]

I think the Australian accent was perfect

[@jimprice9703]

The Black Lagoon is attached to the Amazon River in South America... this hilarity doesn't know WHERE it belongs.

[@strongerwarrior2]

I really love the songs. Any chance I can get a CD and dvd of the show?

[@dl4578]

Truly a masterpiece, a true work of art. But also, bro the comments taking this seriously floor me lol ☠️ "b-but its not faithful to the original 😰😰😰" like dawg i dont think that was the intention lmaoo

[@Titurel]

I can die happy now. I have see it all.

[@snbsixteen6stars201]

Can we bring this back

[@ScionStorm1]

"Oooh, ooh! Is that a red herring?!"

[@ticcitory8775]

Lol if I were Kay I woulda just dumped his ass I mean I don't get why she is with him but then I guess because it's supposed to be a "love story" between her and gil they decide to portray mark and david as perverted and a wimpy nerd.

[@queenmedesa]

@@ticcitory8775 but he was the hero type in the film

[@vivianmcalexander9999]

Fabulous! 😁🤣

[@sebastyboi4519]

They should do a Frankenstein one

[@fatie101]

As a kid I enjoyed this but watching it now, I see now why it was removed lmao

[@illusionsmage]

Someone had a LOT of repressed urges here.

[@TheAgent41]

Why is the Creature Australian/British if he lives in the Amazon?

[@myar3380]

Idk

[@JoshFreilich]

Never mind that, WHY IS GILLMAN EVEN SPEAKING AT ALL, LET ALONE SINGING?!?

[@mclovin4495]

@@JoshFreilich cause this is a musical 🤣

[@cyberberry7506]

Great question idk

[@JoshFreilich]

@@mclovin4495 THAT’S NO EXCUSE! GILLMAN NEVER TALKED! He was more than a fish, but not quite a man! That’s what made him threatening!

[@iniratagen9740]

*21:00* go off queen

[@cyberberry7506]

You should make this a movie you know when the creature gets bigger or something

[@tyokabina2829]

Ok somebody looks and sounds like a Lordi reject XD

[@enriqueramirez0615]

[@WTKB82]

I LOVE her crown at the end. If anyone knows where I can get one like it, let me know

[@ticcitory8775]

Sorry you'll just have to make one dude.

[@Dimadude]

sometime don't make lemonade, especially when you bring one to a musical.

[@Dimadude]

And you can get this: HEY YOU BIG GREEN GUY! GET OUTTA HERE AND INTO TEH OCEAN! :3

[@Dimadude]

And please don't ever put this on Cosplay lol

[@HauntFreak13]

I like how campy this tried to be, but it just needed better dialogue.

[@daniellepressler7984]

I liked the songs and the creature's costume. Just needed better lyrics and dialogue.

[@simonhassnilsson7009]

That we can agree on...and maybe a different ending as well, something more akin to the original, like maybe Kay and the Gill-man Do end up together...although i DO commend them for doing something honestly unexpected...and horrifying...

[@joshsauer4725]

@@simonhassnilsson7009 Would love to see them update this, but have them hire the guy who did the music for Beetlejuice the musical.

[@Rj854Studios]

I.. I dont know what to say...

[@michaelshaw3344]

I'm involved in drama and musicals but this seems very demeaning to the original movie and the songs are loud and obnoxious

[@ScionStorm1]

10:30 who swims in high-heels?

[@ticcitory8775]

@Frisk_Under yeah

[@cyberberry7506]

The stage must be dirty so the people who made this musical said keep your heels on

[@JellicleKat]

Bad things happen when you don't respect the source material!!!

[@CubanPete1990]

Man wood they ever bring it back at Universal Studios Hollywood?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WTKB82]

+CubanPete1990 nope. I think its gone forever.

[@ScionStorm1]

Why you speaking of "man wood"? Does this show arouse you?

[@strongerwarrior2]

Whats the first song at 1:28?

[@botanicus2921]

Christina Stephens Love Me Dead by the band Ludo. I know the drummer and one of the bassists and was super surprised to hear them

[@KramSacul]

It makes me miss the Spider-Man show.

[@HHNReport]

Wouldn't this be considered beastiality? LOL

[@Expressionlesscorpse]

HHNReport yes

[@loganbrock4628]

This; and Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue; better be the last time Universal makes a musical based on a monster. It does no justice to turn some of Hollywood's greatest and scariest monsters into clowns and nonthreatening stage performers.

[@tyokabina2829]

Truly cool things can take being poked fun at on occasion.

[@maxthepupp]

Wait. WTF is this now???

[@tonyvella964]

Great Rigging!!!! and idea for the swimming. Too bad they changed the costume. I see what you mean about trying to update for younger audience etc... Sometimes classics are just better left classic.

[@tyokabina2829]

Tony Vella then againg, I'm really looking forward to the shape of water

[@queenmedesa]

Ok, this is awful ,but I laughed watching it..thanks for posting this

[@CubanPete1990]

You know what After they have Fear Factor live and before they will have Creature from the black lagoon live but first they should have Ghostbusters Live Spooky Spectacular at Universal Studios Hollywood NOT FEAR FACTOR LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Wintermute01001]

People who like this: 1. People who know nothing about the Creature from the Black Lagoon 2. People with terrible taste in musicals 3. Vore fetishists.

Its almost like deviant art wrote this shit show!😱😱😱#exposed #Shutdeviantartdownforgood2019

[@kylefrank638]

Of all the endings I might've foreseen this having... THAT... was not one of them.

[@retlaw1976]

What drugs were they on? When they dreamed up this show?

[@TFrail]

Literally none of this stayed faithful to the original movie. They studied the creature for science, not money. And there wasn't much overt sexuality.

[@tyokabina2829]

TFrail yes there was, it has just gotten dilluted over the years

[@queenmedesa]

The villain wanted to exhibit the creature for money

[@michaelgates6952]

Really bad. Too bad it didn't have the Creature From The Black Lagoon in the musical. There was just some poor second rate sea monster costume used in the musical.

[@oisindaly1380]

Michael Gates are you related to bill gates

[@joshsauer4725]

The problem wasn't the creature. That costume is actually pretty dope. The problem is definitely the music, lyrics, and writing.

[@daviddaviski57]

I didn't like the Creature from the Black Lagoon costume. He looked like he had dreadlocks. Show would have been much better had they made the costume exactly like the original.

[@myar3380]

Ikr

[@ScionStorm1]

That's the costume? You mean The Pradator didn't get an acting job at Universal?

[@simonhassnilsson7009]

the costume dosent really bother me that much, although i probably would remove the Dreadlocks and give him bigger fins and teeth, but yeah i can see what you mean, would have been hell to do choreographed dancing in the actual creature suit though...

[@cyberberry7506]

The giant puppet looked different

[@danninmatthews5640]

Oh, she is attracted to the Gillman.😏

[@user-kv9ge1pr9d]

all white

[@JC-ov6li]

Captain Miranda... big yikes.

[@iniratagen9740]

The actress who plays Captain Miranda is black I think. The way the lights are set up, it makes everyone look paler.
