This was by far the coolest off broadway show i've ever seen; morbidly beautiful and bitingly witty. It's basically a collective German children stories played out with really interesting caberet style music and song. The main story is about this child called Peter who was born with long fingernails and a shocked head of hair - it reminded me of Edward Scissorhands a bit.

Here are some clips from the show: (flash files)

If you're into Burton or Gorey you should go see this!

I suggested (From my friend Sharon who knew i'd love it) to Kris, Corey, Tim, Nigel and Vic... By the middle of the show I was really worried that they'd either wouldn't get it or whatever, but afterwards when I got thier reactions I was relieved that they all loved it as much as I did!

I'd definately go see this again so if anyone else wants to go, please let me know!
