HHN 27: Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure Farewell Tour

[s8film40]

Caught the 12:30 show tonight, second time i've seen the show so far. I laughed out loud during the How Far I'll Go parody when she sang something like "i'm a girl, you're a boy and there's apartments behind meeee"

I must've missed that the first time I saw it. I love how it pokes fun at the apartments built on the land Uni sold back when they needed money to build Potter (that was why right?).

She actually calls out the apartments by name, the line is "Bell Apartments behind me". Also last show of the night is almost always one of the best, especially if you've already seen the show once or twice. They let loose a little and do some extra ad-libbing.

The audience is the best, too. All the hardcores.

Sextail was really working the crowd in that show which I attributed to it being a pretty engaged audience, not something he normally does. It was great.

Yeah my last B&T was a Sunday 12:30 show and it was.... buzzard. Besides having the b show Sean Spicer it was amazing.

who is the guy in the red cape with the guitar at the end? anyone know?

The late Freddie Mercury. Lead singer of Queen, hence "We Will Rock You."

They gave him a guitar and a red cape? Last I saw it was his classic look at a mic stand.

I was thinking, couldnt uni just stop borrowing so much from Saturday night live and ACTUALLY make a SNL halloween live show? Or create some kind of version of the show for the park? There would be able to keep the dancing and the pop culture jokes but having the snl name would bring a lot of people in.

A David S. Pumpkins Halloween Parody Show

I imagine if Lorne Michaels heard about this year's show, he'd react about as well as Disney did in 2006.

So theoretically yes. But I don't see the powers that run SNL agreeing to it even if it's in-house. And as of November 6, HHN is out of the business of doing parody shows.

This! I know we can debate why they are cancelling B&T, but they've clearly had issues with this type of show. There’s no way they’re going to just start another similar show with parodies and offensive stuff. Even if B&T somehow returns in the future I think it would be a different type of show.

I just hope Uni has something to add next year for capacity.

If they did, they would've added it 10 years ago. I'm sure they didn't hire Brian Bushwood, and The Enigma, and Robosaurus, and a faux RHPS company with the hope that all of them would draw mediocre crowds. For whatever reason, B&T and arguably Jack are the only shows to click with the HHN audience.

 

[s8film40]

I could see them going with 3-4 small shows next year instead of replacing B&T. It could help draw in the same numbers with a more diverse offering.

Or maybe they’ll move AoV to FFL, if they think it could pull in the same numbers.

 

[Ryan]

I'm going to bet you won't see a long-term replacement til 2019.

it always amazes me that uni risks it by doing this show and amazes me that none of the companies/ movies/ celebrities being parodied never find out ( except disney)
The show gets thousands of views every week, you would think someone would tweet them about it.

I would be happy if the dance numbers were the only thing that came back lol.
Those are always my favorite parts of the show every year.

Specially when they have the actors come out as different singers. So i do hope whatever comes back would be as fun as those dance numbers.
I couldnt care less about the parodies and about the movie references but im going to miss those endings so much

 

[Grits0808]

They could do the Jack the Clown show like they do in Singapore.

Yeah I would be happy with that as well if it ever happened. Of course I was a fan of Bill & Ted before the show, so anything with them would make me happy. The funny thing is that’s essentially what the show was originally. They added the pop culture references and offensive stuff over time as it evolved.

Jack doesnt have to be the icon next year ir even have a house or even have a zone
But i would definitely welcome another jack show. Even a magic show

Hey, how about just music and dance? Some sort of Weird Al type musical dance show....like the ‘do you wanna eat a snow cone’...it could still be parades, but in song, it might not offend....

I mean, does anyone ever listen to the lyrics people like Neil Diamond or whoever have had commercial success with??

What’s that tune Cracking Rose or something....think about what he is singing about...what is she? A store bought women...what material crackles?
