"Making Necrophiliac" - a musical comedy

Arts Court Theatre
2 Daly Ave. at Nicholas St.
Ottawa, ON

April 9, 10 and 11, 2008

Door 7:30 - Show at 8

"Making Necrophiliac" is the story of a young woman who follows her dreams, and finds true love. With the charm of an old-style musical, a dose of schlock horror, and a few naughty bits, Making Necro features live blues & jazz, German cabaret, a beautiful love ballad, a wicked show tune, a rafter-rippin boogie, and plenty more where that came from. Catchy rhythms and a sizzling score by blues entertainer Guy Del Villano, a 30-year veteran of concert stages, music festivals and countless sleazy dives across Canada. With a stellar cast of actors and musicians, including James Murchison (My Bloody Valentine; Walsh), Sherry Thurig (The Bonesetter, Maggie's Getting Married) and Laszlo Szijarto (Wet Dreams Theatre Co., Civil War Heroes), Making Necro is entertainment to the max, with plenty of dancing in the aisles, and a love story to die for.
