Several posts on various internet forums ask for show suggestions for couples coming to Branson with kids.  This show fits the bill.   I went to see it by myself and kept wishing my grandkids were here to see it.  I had fun watching and the kids in the row behind me were having a ball.

Lisa Layne (Elvira), with a cast of performers in current shows from all around Branson, has to act as well as sing in this production and they all do an admirable job.  The audience members of my generation will surely remember the songs; Purple People Eater, Love Potion #9, etc.  The younger generations enjoy the music, the costumes, and the action on stage and in the aisles.  Fog, coffins, dungeon, lighting, and sound all help create the mood for the evening.

The aim of the show is to make rock stars out of all these monsters.  I won’t go into detail about all the characters; you’ve got to see this for yourself.  But, keep an eye on Beetlejuice and those “fearleaders” with their pom-poms.  This show has a limited run during the summer only.  It plays at 7:00 PM every day, except Mondays, until 17 August 2008.
