Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival – Red Venue</strong>
Finally – a cuddly Zombie! Young Sarah had a few drinks too many one night and finally said “Oh, what the hell. Bite me!” The scars are fresh, but there are perks to being undead – low utility bills and fresh brain co-ops for starts. True, body parts fall off, but that makes weight loss easy. Backed by an accordion and clarinet, Sarah sings songs like “I Accept It” and does a very funny song set about audience fears.”Hairballs” was particularly funny; this girl has great improv chops. She does some audience interaction with “the brain box”; this is mostly an excuse for her to run around like a five year old but it made me laugh. Near the end of the show, Sarah drops out of zombie character and talks about what I assume is a real boy friend. I’m glad for her but happy relations to not make for great comedy. Back in her Zombie space, she sings a short operetta about “OK Cupid” and I’m done – I’ve made the Zombie Trifecta for 2012. “Happy Zombie Girl” offers happy silly fun.
