This week we chat with Kieran Davey about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the musical parody of The Fellowship of the Ring - Fellowship! the Musical Parody!

Kris Noteboom said “J.R.R. Tolkien’s books are ripe for parody. Heavy drama, weird names, weird creatures, an arduous quest with one of the most glaring plot holes in literary history. It’s all there. But, that actually makes creating a good parody difficult.

Thankfully, the authors have succeeded here. First, the songs are actually good and would stand up against anything in a traditional musical. The rock anthem between the awesome scene-stealing Strider (Greg Hullett) and the dynamic Arwen (Kelsey Milbourn), who also plays a great Legolas, is particularly fun.”
