2025 Audience Reviews

Company: Pat O'Brien
Show: Our Zombie Town
Venue: Mixed Blood

Average, boring and slow

I was initially excited to see this show but was disappointed right from the start. The narrator stumbled over his lines constantly and couldn't seem to recall them properly. The pacing was slow, the acting was sub-par to average (except for the two young actors--George was especially talented), and the storyline was not very engaging much of the time. The only time it picked up was (spoiler alert) after all of the town becomes zombified. But even the hokey-pokey part was cute at first and then overly long (we got the point with the first stanza, and then it was dumb, like telling the joke too many times.) I expected much more from this show because of the pedigreed director/Hollywood actor's imprint, but this zombie send-up of beloved "Our Town" ultimately came off like a student project-level script that needs more workshopping.
