designed to shock, with profanity, blasphemy, gruesome violence and scenes of horror. It works, it appeals and received a standing ovation.

A professional and entertaining production that had the audience glued to their seats for more than 90 minutes! Top quality singing and acting, a funny script and fabulous costuming. This is a spectacular show in the gorgeous Wonderland Spiegeltent.
