My sister and I went to see SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw in Baltimore, and it was honestly one of the funniest live shows we’ve seen in a long time. The cast was incredibly talented, the vocals were surprisingly strong, and the balance between horror, comedy, and absolute absurdity was executed perfectly.
Even if you’re a fan of the original Saw movies, this show does not take itself too seriously, which is exactly what makes it work. The writing was clever, self aware, and packed with references that had the audience laughing constantly. The energy from the performers carried through the entire production, and you could tell everyone on stage was fully committed to the chaos.
The Off Broadway style atmosphere made the experience feel intimate and interactive in the best way. If you enjoy parody musicals, dark humor, or cult classic horror, this is absolutely worth seeing. We left quoting lines and laughing about it the whole drive home.
