Vampire cabaret returns in fundraising effort
By Mark Zimmaro
South Philly Review

REV Theatre Company’s popular Philadelphia Fringe Festival show Kiss Me Deadly – A Bloody Brilliant Vampire Cabaret is coming back from the dead for two nights with a fundraising goal for a good cause.

The show, which played to sold-out crowds in September in South Philly, will return on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at the “Haunted” Hayes Tavern at 1123 Walnut St. Both shows begin at 9 p.m.

Kiss Me Deadly is a unique combination of fright-night-meets-decadent-cabaret. With four fiendishly fabulous performers, a killer monster band and hits from Bauhaus to Bon Jovi, Blondie to the Bee Gees and many more.

Each ticket purchased will support No Kid Hungry, an organization that feeds hungry children in the United States.

Tickets will be sold via Venmo or cash at the door only. For information, call 646-326-7950 or visit www.revtheatrecompany.org

KISS ME DEADLY — A BLOODY BRILLIANT VAMPIRE CABARET
REV Theater Company; $35; Run Concluded

REV theatre company is always a highlight of Fringe, and this year’s KISS ME DEADLY is no exception. A revised version of 2024’s My Big Fang Vampire Wedding, the show changes up the set list and staging, but overall is a tighter package. Yes, the audience is still lightly sexually harassed by a randy Dracula (who can easily be warded off with your fingers in the sign of the cross), but the tone is less sleazy club than Rocky Horror, complete with a crawling dance that seemed an homage to the film’s choreography.

The live band is spectacular, and the singer’s incredibly talented both vocally and in figuring out what audience members will be game to play along. Finding its immersion in enveloping the audience in the chaos of the proceedings and light interaction, it’s shockingly a great intro to immersive for older audiences, who by and large loved the set list and were the most willing participants of the evening. If I had any complaint, it would be the continued use of handheld lighting and microphones that has encumbered performers since my first REV production, limiting choreography for some numbers.

REV continues to produce some of the most fun cabaret in Philadelphia. I eagerly await their upcoming production of the musical Cabaret, and encourage all theatergoers to give them a try. Don’t worry, they don’t bite…unless you ask nicely.
