KISS ME DEADLY - A BLOODY BRILLIANT VAMPIRE CABARET
For a very special start to your Spooky Season, come to Ulana’s Ukrainian (rhymes with Transylvanian!) Nightclub in South Philly, and drink and dance with Dracula (he won’t suck – or maybe he will... ) and his singing brides as they renew their wedding vows!
REV’s cabarets have been celebrated by Philadelphia critics as
“wickedly entertaining”
“ with breath-taking, spine-tingling, show-stopping numbers”
“The performers have killer pipes, and they sell the material with a sexy mix of verve and swagger”
“This is terrific cabaret, campy and vampy with that twist of risqué”
“A show filled with nothing but highlights. GO!”
“..flamboyant... stunning... hilarious”
“cabaret that spooks and stirs the soul”
“a show to die for”
Now comes REV’s KISS ME DEADLY, a kinky combo of fright-night-meets-decadent-cabaret for this year’s Fringe. With a live (as in back from the dead!) band and monster hits from Bauhaus to Bon Jovi, Blondie to the Bee Gees and so many more in bloody brilliant arrangements, all remixed/remade especially for this immersive, interactive production – plus a “Romanian gypsy” who will tell your fortune (if you dare!) at the start of the evening’s fiendish fun! And why not come dressed as your favorite creature of the night, too? The booze and the blood will flow! (And blood donors are particularly welcome!)

REV Theatre Company’s My Big Fang Vampire Wedding played to sold-out houses and rave reviews at Ulana’s for 2024’s Philly Fringe, and was a Broad Street Review Top 5 Fringe Pick. Death Is A Cabaret Ol’ Chum: A Graveyard Cabaret, which REV presented in Laurel Hill Cemetery, was an audience favorite and top ticket seller for several years. Our Shakespeare productions (Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Comedy of Errors, Othello) and our original Philadelphia Fringe musical pieces (No Rest For The Wicked, They Only Come Out At Night, Six Feet (Above And) Under), REV’s 1940s Canteen, REV’s Vaudeville, REV’s Lil’ Ol’ Rodeo Show, REV's Honky Tonk have all been consistently critically acclaimed and have reached well over fifteen thousand people. And this past April we presented With Love From America: A Honky Tonk For Ukraine as a benefit for Save Ukraine, (an agency that rescues Ukrainian children deported to Russia and returns them to their families), to standing-room only audiences. We take our work to veterans, nursing homes, and shelters too. Educational outreach and senior programs are also an essential and extensive part of REV’s mission.
