Wagon Wheel Jr.’s ‘I Want Mummy’
“I Want My Mummy, Too!,” a production of Wagon Wheel Jr. is on stage this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 26-27.
You’re going to love this riotous, lighthearted musical! Baroness Frankenstein has opened her castle to monsters of the world who are having difficulty fitting in with society. Her guests include the Mummy, a Phantom Bride, the mad Igor, a Medusa (complete with snakes in her hair), Vampira, a descendant of Dr. Jekyll’s and the Invisible Man.
The kind baroness rents the castle from Mrs. Hoople, who sends monthly checks to pay for the staff she imagines is working there. So what do these zany creatures do when Mrs. Hoople arrives rather unexpectedly to inspect the premises? Well, pose as the servants, of course! Poor Mrs. Hoople is shocked to discover a mummy for her butler and Igor for her gardener.What’s worse, the cleaning woman is a vampire and there’s a monster stretched out on the dining room table!
The play’s climax has a werewolf battling the Invisible Man in full view of the audience! The score is just as wacky as the plot, with such tunes as “Castle Frankenstein,” “It’s a Madhouse” and “Werewolf.” If you’re looking for a musical creature feature, then come to this hilarious horror house!
Tickets on sale until Oct. 27 at the Wagon Wheel website.
