“It's been called a classic Disney gothic fairy tale, a comic book rock musical, and even Scooby-Doo meets John Hughes. However you describe it, Gay Bride of Frankenstein is definitely an original. I’ve been raving about it to everyone I’ve talked to since leaving the theater. It was original, funny, the music was terrific. But more than anything, the show was a ton of fun.”
Marc Fortier · Lawrence Eagle Tribune

“A mighty fine musical, superbly delivered, and artfully built. But what “Gay Bride” has first and foremost is a killer score by Butler. Tunes that rock, really rock and those that lament, steal your heart. This is tons of fun, outstanding music, exceptional performances and should not be missed. Worth the price of the ticket; in fact buy two!”
Jeanné McCartin · The Portsmouth Herald

“Gay Bride is part theater, part rock concert and part comic book, and the story incorporates elements of Frankenstein, The Rocky Horror Show, Phantom of the Opera and Scooby-Doo. The take-home message is that love is never an abomination—not even when it’s between a woman and a blue, reanimated corpse of a woman.”
The Wire Magazine

“Gay Bride of Frankenstein is bound to keep you entertained. The cast is brilliant and the music is spectacular. The humor of the script is sometimes subtle and often very tongue-in-cheek, dependent on well-known stereotypes and high school experiences to which most everyone can relate.”

“Gay Bride of Frankenstein brought along a cast album from its earlier workshop cast in New Hampshire. Rather than settle for only heavy winking and pure camp, the show treats its teen characters with respect and affection throughout the wild ride. Wanting the best of both worlds— reality and horror fantasy— Gay Bride has its crazy cake and eats it gluttonously.” 
Rob Lester · TalkinBroadway.com

“It hilariously sends up all the conventions of teen horror films, giving the protagonists free reign to explore their sexuality before it’s wrapped up in a frantic finale that means you’ll never think of Shaggy and the Wolfman in the same way again! Hopefully we’ll see this fun show in a full production in New York and London before too long. But you heard about it here first!”
Phil Willmott · Attitude (UK’s Largest Gay Magazine)

“Gay Bride of Frankenstein sometimes plays like Scooby-Doo meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show as it puts a modern-day lesbian spin on an old horror movie standard. The girl-girl love story, depicted in earnest, provides a welcome emotional hook that focuses the show and distinguishes it in its camp horror musical subgenre.”
Patrick Lee · Theatremania.com

“I liked this goofy, energetic show. But it owes more to Evil Dead: The Musical than La Cage Aux Folles and would be more accurately, though admittedly less flashily, titled Fanboy Lesbian Scooby-Doo Bride of Frankenstein. And if that seems like fun to you, you're in for a treat. There is something to be said for scrappy festival productions, and there are several nice touches here, most of which involve the use of Drew's drawings as animated backdrops, and even a few virtual characters that reinforce the comic book ambiance nicely.”

“No review of this show is complete without a mention of the band who actually have a part in the show. Known as the Monster Makers, they were sensational on Monday night as they got the show rocking and rolling.”
