Kristina Sloan is the bodiless Jan, and Jim Klingenfus is the mad Dr. Cortner's assistant (and victim), in "Head: The Musical" at Beowulf Alley Theatre.
There are some deliciously excessive characters in this, such as Evan Werner as Seductra, one of the candidates for a body for Jan. Seductra is all glittery and sexy and male. And Werner is divine.
So is Jim Klingenfus as Dr. Cortner's assistant (and victim) in the mad doc's transplant experiments. Klingenfus hasn't been on stage in some time - it's clear he ought to pick it up again. He has a keen sense of the macabre, and the audience felt his delight in his character.
Kristina Sloan did the bodiless Jan proud - some impressive eye acting there - and the rest of the cast, Fry, Lucas Rodriguez, China Young, Scott O'Brien and Tashiana Holt, all had so much fun with the production that it was contagious.
Mickey Nugent could be a genius - the choreographer threw in some fancy footwork for the actors and made them look as though they had been hoofing it for years. And Sheldon Metz's set design of a blood-stained laboratory was downright clever.
...it'll be a campy delight to which you can't wait to introduce your friends.
