Any musical that rhymes coup d'état with Wonderbra obviously has something going for it… Populated with colorful sideshow archetypes — notably Mephisto (David Garry), the satanic impresario of the House of Horrors — Cyclone and the Pig-Faced Lady benefits from Morgenstern's sympathetic presence and the solid vocal talents of the supporting cast. Composer Rima Fand contributes an atmospheric score that conjures old-time cabaret and French accordion music, seasoned with a dash of contemporary dissonance.
