Fringe Review: UNSUNG: The Accidental Villains of History, Colin Noden, Apartment 613
This was great fun! Excellent singers – really professional-level talent.
As for the the history: For those who are curious, there was no lawsuit against Lottie McArthur by the White Star Line. This story appears to be made up.
Was Guillotin a melon merchant? Sadly no :). He was a physician. Also the play hints he was killed during the French Revolution. He was imprisoned for not informing against a friend, but he was not executed.
The origins of the great Chicago Fire has always been a mystery and the story of the two friends who pin the blame on the cow is another of the stories that haven’t been proven true.
Annie Edson Taylor was indeed the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, but it was her own idea, not the brainchild of her students. She never made much money from her exploit. In the play, the re-enactment of the barrel plunge is *hilarious*!
Finally did Hitler try and fail to get into arts school? Yes. Yes, he did.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
