Press! No, really! People care! ALREADY!

So, we open tonight. While I may be more than slightly dying of nervousness, there's some great, great things happening in the Giant Killer Shark camp. These great things are the following:

Chart Attack thinks we're great (and nothing like JAWS)!

Exclaim! Magazine thinks we're "genius"!

Rue Morgue Magazine thinks we're "F---in' hilarious"!

We were also featured in the Toronto Star yesterday (July 6th) as Richard Ouzounian's favourite title!

And, according to someone who watches eTalk Daily, we were talked about on last night's show (something to the effect of, "It has a rapping fisherman! How could it not be great?").

Plus, eye Magazine already doesn't like us! Some sarcastic comment in this week's edition about how "old" the whole "THE MUSICAL!" trend is. At least they're paying attention!

Can't wait to open tonight. And not die.

Ok, I found the etalk video- he doesn't comment about a rapping fisherman (which he PROBABLY SHOULD have), but he does say it looks awesome based on the title alone...and he looks all pretentious and theatre-y so his opinion probably counts for something.

Here's the link, just find the "fringe festival" feature. The dude drops the name at the end of the clip.

Thanks dude! That's pretty rad. That's the same guy who said he liked us in the Star yesterday. I think I'm going to send him flowers.

Saw your show tonight at the Fringe and my friend and I loved it! We'll be laughing for days. We're both going to take other friends to see you, too - you've definitely got a hit on your hands. All the performances were great - and you all have terrific voices. (The live performance is much better than the online soundtrack, though.) I'm glad your first night Toronto audience gave you the standing ovation you deserve. Absolutely excellent entertainment.
