Fiends

[Richard]

Were the roles of Serenity and Trinity victims of budget cuts?

 

[Zachary]

Yes

 

[BGW Family]

The pre-show announcements using last year's Freakinstein have been replaced with ones by the current Doctor.

I saw the 9pm show tonight and Dr. Freakinstein was not preforming up to par, he really butchered Thriller and forgot a few of his lines, I guess I just got an off night.

 

[BGW Family]

But, his improv is keeping things fresh and entertaining. He is switching things up some and everyone is playing with the audience a little more. He may be tired by the end of the day and for last show. But, he owns this show right now. Great to have him back.

EDIT: Added comment.

(Original) Simplicity and Freakenstein don't get along.

She was doing several swing leads this weekend. She was Simplicity Sunday afternoon. When it came time to hit the Doctor with the glove, he ducked and said, "Missed me!". Whether more improv or related to the above, it was hilarious. She was not expecting it from the look on her face.

First time I've tried to make a cinemagraph.

 

[Luke]

First time I've tried to make a cinemagraph.

Neat! Just need to do that with the guy at the end.

 

[ToddF]

Hmmm. I'll think about that.

 

[Jonquil]

Eeek! The "wig" is back?!

 

[Party Rocker]

The wig is only for the guys originally assigned to be a monster. So long as that guys plays the monster he will wear the wig. The other guy doesn't need the wig because he has actual hair.

 

[Applesauce]

There are so many better wigs out there than that one, that'll look good on him. ;__;

I had other commitments that kept me away from the park until this evening. I caught the last couple shows of the night. It finally happened. The pearl-clutching whiners finally got to Fiends. Some of the best sight gags and dirty jokes have been cut from the show.

 

[Applesauce]

Which ones were removed? I haven't seen the show since opening weekend.

 

[ToddF]

Simplicity and the Doctor no longer "play later".

The tiger no longer has a tail.

And my personal favorite sight gag is gone. No one looks for the difference between a tiger and a pussycat.

 

[Applesauce]

Oh, so nothing I'd miss okay. I'm good with that.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Although, that's bad, some of the jokes were just becoming overkill with the 2013-present dialogue.

 

[Applesauce]

The "Play later" gag was from 2013, the other two were at least done in the final show of 2012. "Play Later" was something that just felt extremely unnecessary last year, and even more so this year. The other two, I really won't miss, but will probably notice them missing. (If I get a chance to go back.)

 

[Richard]

The tiger tail has been in since the second day of performances in 2012.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I saw 2012 simplicity yesterday swinging for this year's simplicity. It felt like a nice little reunion.

Simplicity also doesn't think the doctor likes it better with her on top. She just says "oh is that what you mean?" when he says she's beneath him.
