NEWS: Game of Thrones: The Musical = Best-Selling Show of Tampa Fringe

Really Spicy Opera at the Tampa Fringe Festival’s Midnight Cabaret.

Game of Thrones: The Musical has been certified as the best-selling show of the inaugural Tampa International Fringe Festival. TiFf took place in Tampa, Florida’s Ybor City neighborhood from May 11-14, 2017. The festival featured 29 local, national, and international performing groups.

Really Spicy Opera was also a featured ensemble in the festival’s sold-out midnight cabaret, performing a parody of “One Day More” from Les Miserables as the cabaret’s final number.

REVIEW: The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret in Cherry and Spoon

Cherry and Spoon came to see The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret and loved it. From the review:

These four women (Megan O’Leary, Shelley Mihm, Victoria Erickson, Victoria Seiffert Temiz) sound gorgeous singing these modern operatic songs, their unamplified voices filling the New Century Theatre as collaborative pianist Banchinda Laothai somehow makes a keyboard sounds like a grand piano. It’s a beautifully sung clever conversation between the four voices of two people. And it makes me wonder, what should I call my inner voice, and why can’t she sing like these four women?

A longstanding Minnesota Fringe tradition is to parody earlier and current shows, hitting source material ranging from literary, theatrical, and film classics to other shows playing in the same festival. Last night, Four Humors selected Really Spicy Opera’s The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret for its nightly show to parody. Read Cherry and Spoon’s review here:
