So the Gal's mom is in town and treated us to dinner at Barrymore's, and who do I run into as I am leaving, but our own talented Penny O. She was on her way to see ALL SHOOK UP. We were on our way to see SHOCKHEADED PETER. That was a pleasant surprise.
As for PETER, I hoped it would be better. I liked the horrific aspects of it much better than the comic aspects. Some of the sequences were really cool, but had I known the guy from the Tiger Lillies was going to sing EVERY song, I probably would not have gone. A little of his piercing falsetto goes a long way for me. Still, some incredible moments of staging and a couple genuine chills made it worthwhile.
