Spectre the Musical “Pure Halloween fun… an intriguing combination of
macabre, dark, and silly humor,” praising Johnson and co-director
Arden Teresa Lewis for their “consistent and sharp style that keeps
the audience fully engaged.”

haunting vocals from the lead combined with a child’s innocence and
morbid humor that makes it equal parts spooky fun and bittersweet.”
