Fringe Goers Own comments
5 stars A 'must see' 21 Aug 2002 reviewer: Mark
Treadaway country: UK
This show has got it all. Great characters with names like 'Chesty
Prospects', a good story, and above all great songs. If you missed this
show in its previous 'outings' (pun) at the Fringe, make sure you see it
this year. Well worth the short walk out of the centre of town. You too
will be singing 'Glitterboots Saved My Life'.
5 stars Sizzlingly Stupendous! 14 Aug 2002
reviewer: jill mccoy country: UK
This is really great stuff! The singing and dancing are intoxicating and
the Sax playing of Sammy Sax needs to be seen and heard to be believed,
and his singing too is fantastic. I loved it from start to finish and
would go again and again if I had time. Don't miss it!
3 stars Flawed, but an enjoyable romp 13 Aug 2002
reviewer: GLEN CALLENDER country: Canada
Certainly has much of the spirit of Rocky Horror, but its tunes fall far
short of RH's brilliance. Great costumes and acting, but poor live sound
mix can make it frustratingly difficult to hear the words. A poor attempt
at a murder mystery in the first act... the killer isn't supposed to be
the person the audience is made to suspect all along! All in all an
enjoyably campy show, but it's far from a must.
5 stars Rough start turns brilliant 12 Aug 2002
reviewer: Art Fidler country: Canada
Rain,cold, late lighting installation, and a tent gave Jack a rough
start, but it is really a cookin' show now. A strong, professionally
skilled cast, great singing, and a love of freedom and self-fulfilment
filled me and my friends with disco lust! I'm going back to Jack.To me,
this is Fringe at its best and most fun. And, even better, with French's
releasing the rights (or so I was told) I have a chance to produce it in
Canada.
3 stars well.... 10 Aug 2002 reviewer: sha country:

as a rocky horror fan, comparing the two does not really work. it was an
entertaining show, with good production values, but not what i was
expecting. some good camp, some predicatble bits, and good tunes sung by
great singers. worth seeing, but if you miss it, ,y guess is it'll be back
for year 5 and you can pick it up later.
