FRINGE: American History vs. American Idol

American History vs. American Idol presented by Team Ron Ros from Orlando Florida, was a musical romp through history. The serious professor was interrupted by students who felt they were auditioning for American Idol.

The student singers started the show wearing powdered wigs but those wigs soon came off to be rested on the mannequin heads at the back of the stage.

In some ways the show reminded me of Rocky Horror Picture Show with the serious professor who was interrupted by others who were singing and dancing on the edge.

For the Boston Tea Party number there was a board with holes for 3 heads cut into it. Actors stuck their heads through the holes and their hands fit into the legs and shoes so they could conduct a rather odd dance number. This is sort of similar to Chaplins potato dance number.
