Maul Santa at The Public House Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...This collaboration between We Are Productions and Public House Theatre, directed by Ricky W. Glore, stretches the title pun out to a Dawn of the Dead-inspired musical in which Santa and company fend off brain-eating ghouls. J. Sebastian Fabal's score has a handful of clever hooks and earwormy bits, but that and a charismatic cast aren't enough to sustain the joke even for the short running time. An intermission inexplicably just 35 minutes in does little to bolster a sense the show's quite finished."

"...Were there some good moments? Sure. I enjoyed Kyle Encinas as Barry (the comedic elf). He brought charm and humor to the role. And the switch in Mrs. Claus (played by Ali Delianides) was hysterical when she switched from mealy and subservient to kick-ass zombie slayer. There were also some winning numbers. "Zombie Killer Santa" was particularly funny with its classic heavy metal riffs. And the last number in the show, "Really Freaking Awesome," was catchy."
