We went to the theatre the other week to see Avenue Q. A puppet show with a difference…nude puppetry and plenty of innuendos.

So we were all fired up to go see something else and picked – Vampires Rock – Ghost Train. It was to be a mix of rocking rock tunes and vampiric action (whatever that is).

We had no idea what to expect! Oh boy. A singing bald Yorkshire man pretending to be a Transylvanian vampire with leather basque wearing female singers.

Hmm. If this was supposed to be a family show then it failed. The night was actually quite fun, eighties rock songs and acting so awful it was hilarious. Throw in a mix of swearing, forgotten lines and the best bit of all – an aerobic act by one of the backing singers who performed acrobatics using two suspended red fabric lengths.

All told an interesting night. At least I knew all the words to the songs – Meatloaf, Van Halen, Whitesnake etc etc.
