Sally Spectre the Musical
THE PERFECT PIECE TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN!
Rich Borowy - Accessibly-Live!
This musical production is extremely witty and clever. Rebecca Lane as Sally holds much charisma and appeal. Every element (in this) experience is rich and robust! It plays out as a musical crammed with clever songs as well as a brilliant book!

Mr. Hoffman's soldier is a charming blend of sentiment and stiff upper lip; his movements formal and single-hinged like the toy itself.As a composer Johnson has full command of the musical idiom of horror and his score abounds with whole tone scales and glowering diminished sevenths.

The characters are funny and lovable and the music is exceptional. But the most outstanding element is the tale's point of view. Mr. Johnson has created a very original piece, a subject that hasn't been explored, as far as I know.

I think that Sally Spectre: The Musical has the potential to be a work that could comfortably rub shoulders with other gothic fantasies like Neil Gaiman's Coraline, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, or The Addams Family.

The production stills reminded us of Beetlejuice, and we wondered how writer David P. Johnson could turn a story about a little girl with a hatchet embedded in her skull into a musical. But as weird as it sounds, the storyline, the acting and the direction by Chelsea Sutton worked fantastically...
