So have you caught an Emilie Autumn show? This is definitely a show not to miss. On tour in support of her Opheliac -- The Deluxe Edition, she and the Bloody Crumpets are on their first North American Tour and we were lucky to catch them in both Baltimore and Washington DC.
Now if you are thinking that this is just a concert, you will be sadly mistaken or maybe not. The show which lasts about 2.5 hours blends her songs with theatrical performance as well as circus type acrobatics in the venues were these are doable. In Baltimore at Bourbon St. they were able to do these antics as well as incorporate a bit of pyro into their act but at the 9:30 Club that was not to be the case.
For the most part the show flowed well but at times the dialogue between songs seemed to drag on and come across forced. This could be due to having seen the show before and even with some subtle changes in it, it became a bit predictable. Being this is their first North American tour, it will be interesting to see how the show changes from tour to tour.
The highlight of the night though was towards the end when Emilie did her cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Covering a song such as this is a huge undertaking and she definitely hit it.
