MAC WELLMAN'S DRACULA

From the Houston Press:

With this combination of dialogue, music and dance, no one raises the roof like the black leather, tight-fitting, double breasted, coat done up to the neck-wearing Van Helsing (a finely taut and hysterically dead serious Ron Reeder). With his mashable Dutch/something else vaguely Eastern European accent he spews Wellman’s invented words (Jonathan, who has taken to eating flies, spiders, and even a sparrow, he dubs a ‘zooaphagus’, or one that eats others) and delivers a whirlwind song and dance explanation of what a “wampire” is. Van Helsing is the crux of the dark humor in this production and Reeder plays it to perfection.

More here.

Mostly a decent review, although it makes what I think are a few unfair assertions here and there. But I do have to say that this is, without a doubt, the absolute best review I have ever personally received as an actor. Yes, I'm insufferably pleased with myself at the moment.

We've got three more performances, Thursday through Saturday.  Come see the show!
