Synopsis
The story is inspired by Weber's opera Der Freischutz (1821 Berlin). Unlike the Weber, however, there is no happy ending. The hero, Wilhelm, is charmed and taken in by the devilish Pegleg, mistakenly shoots his beloeved, Kathchen, and goes mad. The dialogue is in rhymed German, while the songs are in English. Davis describes the style of the music as "across between Andrew Lloyed Webber and Kurt Weill...[that] mainly reeks of the beer hall," and Rockwell, as "Der Freischutz meets Cabaret, with a dash of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the side."
