So i heard from an employee at work that apparently there will be an ALL NEW Creature show starting this Friday! I've heard they've redone everything except the swimming scene... I've heard they've re-writen every lyric to the songs... I've heard they want to make it "more Disney."

Either way, I doubt it'll fix this problem! They should have given the show to John Murdy for him to do it correctly! Heaven forbid we give it to the guy who KNOWS Monsters!!!

they did change it. . . it was crappy. the original one was more provocative and more leaned towards teens and adults the newer one is g rated. heres a link to the original see what you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of8wYro8isU

This is just a piece of crap no matter how you cut it, and that's really sad, because if they'd pay attention to some details at least it would look nice. There is absolutely NO excuse for a giant RED carribeaner on the fly rig counterweight (Which flies in the middle of a song, in front of the lead actress. Was the director asleep when this was blocked?) The rig is badly masked, and for no reason, you can't hide it when your max height is only 15' up. The puppet is cool but the puppeteers are dressed ridiculously. The creature's lair looks like a reject set from the Flinstones scene shop. The creature gets pulled off on a dolly made of bare 2x4's. Come on. Even high schoolers can figure out how to use a can of krylon. The audio system is great, unfortunately the show mix is awful (not that they've been given anything to work with.) Lighting underwhelming (though the lighting in the underwater scene looked nice.)

I second the vote to bring back Beetlejuice.

Well as they say opinions are like assholes .....
everybody has one!!!!

I took my family to this ..... I would have been better off going into the sewers in LA... terrible... at least half the audience walked out .... someones getting fired for this one

Yes.... the show is bad. . . very bad. Luckily the park was not very crowded (we decided to go before the holiday rush) and we were able to recoup the time wasted rolling our eyes at this mess.

Think they need to have a review by their paying public before they dump good money into a farce like that. Was it just an advertising ploy to get people in. It can not be good for the bottom line, people certainly will not be returning.

Was in the park yesterday with my Sister's family and we went in to watch this, this, ummmm, yep, crap does discribe it. Don't bring your kids, parents or anyone else you might be with.

You will see better performances by any elementary school drama class. This creature thing just bewilders me. Does Universal hire crack addicts to create this stuff? Do they think their audience is on mushrooms. Maybe they should hand out drugs before the show. Sad thing is I bet they spent $$$ millions to build all that junk too, wonder if it will last as long as Spiderman or better yet, fear factor which shrunk to weekends then just disappeared.

Way to go Universal!

I too must comment on CREATURE FROM BLACK LAGOON SHOW, which I saw a few days ago. I am a connoisseur of great theme park live shows. From the early days of DISNEY WORLD IS YOUR WORLD, to the fantastic live Broadway style and Cirque type shows at Disney Seas, I have sen many great ones.

This being said, Creature is perhaps the worst piece of crap I have ever seen at a theme park. It's boring. The song are bad. The singers SINGING the songs are lifeless, the female lead falling in love with the creature for no reason at all is stupid and the show simply reeks. I am a very NC-17 edgy guy, however, a joke about dipping a sex organ into a cream to make it bigger, is simply surreal.

Hey. I LOVE USH. LOVE LOVE LOVE every BILL AND TED SHOW ever. Love Waterworld. Etc. But, the persons who created this fiasco really need to be let go.

Simply, horrific.

I don't know what all the angry attitude is about, how can anyone have any reverance for "The Creature From the Black Lagoon"? The mini musical I saw on opening day Tuesday was very entertaing, and I no one one walked out during my show. I think some of you guys are geeky haters and need to grow up!

I was cynical at first, and after watching released footage on youtube I already loathe it. The Creature cannot sing, he never grows (male hormone enhancement?LUDICROUS!), and personally, he looks overweight and wasted! And he eats Kay, demolishing any love he had for her. It is like being beaten with a stick while tied to chair in a screening room for a Disney channel star concert- I will not see this atrocity ever! They have ruined the creature's good name!

Universal spend a crap load of money on this show, and it has a 3 year contract. This crap is going to be running for the next 3 YEARS! I am embarrassed to work for this company.

horrible, horrible, horrible, to the point of being a complete embarrassment for whoever allowed this to reach the paying public. I wish I would have saw the reviews before actually going into the show. Would have been happier sitting in traffic for 20+ minutes.

How could a theme park be so out of touch if the people that pay their bills.

All of you have very articulately described the show and I ultimately have very little to add... This show is just plain embarrassing. Way to go Universal!

I watched a "technical rehearsal" a few days ago. This has to be the most inexplicably and irredeemably bad "musical" I have every seen. Every single moment of the show, I expected things to improve, but it just got worse and worse. I stuck around even after a large part of audience walked out in the middle of the show in disbelief and disgust. But I wanted to stay til the end - I was truly fascinated by the whole thing: how on earth can someone put together such a piece of garbage? I've seen Spiderman Rocks. As awful as Spiderman Rocks was, I don't recall audience walking out of the show in the middle, and little kids seem to enjoy it. But Creature is another story, I can see the disgust and disbelief on people's face, young and old. Perhaps this show was going for the "so bad it's cult-classic worthy again thing", unfortunately it flopped big time. I sure hope this doesn't last very long.

Was back at the park today... they had two shows, I couldn't bring myself to watch. However, I did stick around and watch audience responses. The first show, only about 20 walked out, but once the show emptied out, the people were steaming. For whatever reason they decided to watch the whole thing, but they were mad and not afraid to voice their opinions out loud. "What the F was that?" "That was F'ng horrible!"

Then there was a show around 5... I lost count how many people were walking out of it during the performance. If I had to guess, I'd say easily a couple hundred!

When will they realize this show DOES NOT need to open!? Cut your losses and move on! Put Beetlejuice back in!!

Here's the tv commercial that's running now!

There really shouldn't be kids in that audience! I think my favorite (Sarcastic) part of the show was when the Creature grabs Kays @$$, and when she sings in response to their new relationship, "It may be sick, but I wanna lick!"

Whooooooooooo boy.

Just putting "Rockin'" in the title ain't gonna fix this turd (must have been the same geniuses who thought "Spiderman Rocks" was a good idea, too).

Male Enhancement Cream? SERIOUSLY? That wouldn't have been funny Off-Off-Broadway, no less a theme park. Something tells me the writers think they're too hip for the room and somehow cleverly camp -- but this sounds like they grossly (in every meaning of the word), profoundly don't understand (and in fact disdain) their audience.

Stick to shows with fireballs and stuff that 'splodes, Uni.

The creature should have a knock out, rock-n-roll, wild note voice but instead he is as average as plain toast. The casting seems a bit off since both actors seem, how shall I say this, less than masculine. That lightfootedness works well for the scientist because of his disinterest in his soon-to-be bride. But for both leads to be. . .that way. . .is off putting. The sexual enuendo and double entendre is perfect for Halloween Horror Nights, but not daily operation of a family park. The creature strokes and touches the girl that would raise the eyebrow of a porn star then appears to pleasure her with his tongue before eating her whole. My only hope is that the same VP's wife that got Chucky's Insult Emporium pulled from Halloween Horror Nights in the middle of the run will see this piece of work and ensure that it finds a similar fate.
