02: The Streetwalker Dance
Black Ghoul Introduction
One who prowls the lonely streets at night in life, is bound to prowl them in eternity!
Ed Wood Crazy Talk Grade: D+
Sexiness
The skeleton seemed interested!
Grace
Not bad, though I suspect people don't pull up to her in cars and say "Will you do the Charleston for $20?"
Closeness to Theme
The pink painting smock and blue boa do not scream streetwalker. I do appreciate the fact that the lower part of the boa seems to be glued to the smock; this is good as she is constantly having to re-adjust the upper part while dancing.
Was there a fight between the stage hands as to who got to glue it on, or did Ed Wood get that plumb job?
Music
Sleazy guitar that sounds like somebody never got past "trucking'" in the Mel Bay method, covered up by even sleazier squak-ier clarinet. Did I mention the clanging piano? No? It's there for when the clarinet guy runs out of squeek.
Length of Act
7 minutes, but it's broken up with the victims crawling around in the bushes and going "What's this? What is this unworldly show? Why is her hair the same color as a rusty bucket?"
