VINDLEVOSS FAMILY CIRCUS SPECTACULAR

Vindlevoss -- will write more later--just go see this show on Sat 9/27 @ 8 pm. They are a charming, funny pair of oddballs.

VINDLEVOSS FAMILY CIRCUS SPECTACULAR! Carrie Brown and Karim Muasher, performers, NY

Finally getting around to this as promised...We have Professor Penelope Vindlevoss, with her outrageous mustache--not in drag--just a mustache, perhaps in lieu of a red nose. This curious anthropologist engages us with her ridiculous german-like accent. Her charge is Edward, a zombie from Borhaah Borhaah (spelled as the Professor pronounced it.) He is a humble and amiable zombie who longs to be human again. Twice during the performance I attended, Edward's monster teeth popped out. It appeared to be unplanned (though with clowns you never know). I was hoping it would happen a third time--at the very end--when Edward becomes human. Professor Vindlevoss is a splendid straight man for her partner, and gives him plenty of opportunity to shine. This is a delightfully skewed take on Pinocchio.
