The Critics
“"Ed Gein, The Musical” is “Sweeney Todd” in a red plaid shirt, a macabre medley of Midwestern murder, mayhem and mirth...this extravaganza is a tuneful treatise on deviant psychology. It's also creative, technically competent and boldly confident in its tastelessness. Dan Davies really throws himself into the role of this timid, childlike ghoul."” - Colin Covert
“Ed Gein" is a burlesque fantasia that incorporates some of the real details of the life of Gein...it's an ambitious horror/comedy/musical/crime drama/sitcom parody. The cast of unknowns...does great work” - Chris Hewitt
— St. Paul Pioneer Press
“Past cinematic exploits inspired by infamous Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein...have always been sorely lacking for whimsy. But Ed Gein: The Musical more than makes up for it”
— The Onion A.V. Club
“"Ed Gein: The Musical" fills a niche that few knew even existed.” - Duane Dudek
“The notorious serial killer finally gets the musical he deserves.” - J.R. Jones
— Chicago Reader
“...appropriately grisly and creepy, but also funny and showstopping.” - Doug Moe
“...inspired by the "Psycho" serial killer. "Will she dig me as I dig her?"” - Roger Ebert
“Ed Gein: The Musical offers the expected heaps of stage blood and gory puns, but also offers a surprisingly sympathetic depiction of a gentle outcast remembered by history as one of the most notorious ghouls.”
— Shepherd Express
“Here's the plain truth about Ed Gein: The Musical...It's deliciously tasteless.” - Cathalena E. Burch
“Overall, Ed Gein, The Musical is something special. While it is a very low-budget production, it has a lot of charm which adds to the experience. ”
