This was amazing and one of the best shows that I've seen at the Fringe EVER! The cast was great, the music was great, the script was dumb but funny and it def. deserved the best musical award.

We don't give programs - partly to preserve the "mystery," but mostly to protect our dignity. :) Our leading actress (I don't think she will mind me saying)is Rachel Anne Warren. I hope we hear her name much more often around DC! She happens to belong to a top band called Gunwife Gone in Baltimore. Incidentally, Dr. Diabolicus is the lead singer of the Diamond Dead band. Aria deWinter is the lead character in the musical. A minor point, but Dr. D. said he would eat me if I didn't clarify. If anyone asks... yes, they really are zombies. It’s not Danielle’s fault.

I think Aria DeWinter is the name of the character, not of the actual lead singer. I don't think the band was actually zombies. Um, Danielle?

Diamond Dead is not for everyone, and though it was not entirely your cup of tea (I hope the left-leaning zombies didn't offend too much - it's all in good fun), we heartily thank you, Lorraine, Joel and everyone at DCTS for your amazing comprehensive coverage of the Fringe. You truly kicked the butt of another Washington City publication, which shall remain nameless. ;) For those who love "The Dead," look for this band to rise again around Halloween - possibly in a music venue. Thanks to the loyal fans who have stuck with us since 2004. For Danielle and anyone else, we now return you to our regular non-fringe Landless programming. Hope to see you next season!!!

The band totally rocked, you're exactly right on that; it was standing room only Friday night and they blew the roof off of the warehouse! The political jokes were really funny and got some of the biggest laughs of the night. I mean, I thought all zombie movies were political films about the fears of the atomic age and communism, but maybe I'm wrong. It seems like this review was very nit-picking; the people who got up for the pre-show seemed to have a good time, rocked out and got into the spirit of things. I'm sorry Danielle didn't get up there and do her best heavy-metal impression, maybe she would have fun like everyone else! Wow, did you see the same show I saw?
