Kicking off Fringe Full of Stars with some Magical Musical Mayhem!

Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical Parody

One show down and it was a terrific one! I started the Fringe last night with the Harry Potter prequel parody which tells the story of Voldemort (Jayden Leung) as a teen in Hogwarts. He has a Hufflepuff girlfriend Muffin (Carly Pettit) and their classmates include a young Hagrid (Jeremey Zimmerman), Genevieve Gryffindor (Katelyn Cabalo), Ravenclaw Mertle Warren (Alisha Breton), and Hufflepuff Derald Bacon (Stefan Sikanja). They are instructed by a young Dumbledore, played hilariously by Lucas Paterson. This was a very funny production, filled with Harry Potter Easter Eggs for the indoctrinated, wonderful singing and dancing throughout (Standout Songs: Pettit and Leung have a terrific duet, and Zimmerman shows some major vocal chops!). The Choreography (By Director David Son) is fabulous and all commit 100% to the moves and tone of this cheeky and saucy productions. There's also a major dig at the source material author, and the score makes it clear she's not seeing a dime from the show! I recommend! But buy soon as the opening show SOLD OUT and I can see there's another sold out show on the roster. 

Note: Despite the source material, this is NOT for the little ones. It's rated 14A in the program for a reason.
