While I'm glad Kummer's camera was there to capture it, the movie doesn't reveal enough about the performers' backgrounds or personalities.

Inspiring and uplifting in equal amounts, Harvey and Kummer's fangs-and-all documentary is, like its subject, one of a kind.

By the triumphant curtain call, as young Scott trots onstage for a very professional bow in full Xenomorph garb, it's clear "Alien on Stage" has completely captured the hearts of the audience - film, theater, and Christopher Guest lovers alike.

The sheer audacity of just the attempt of pulling this off is worth the joyous trip. The fact that they do to thunderous applause practically makes this a historic document.

A delight for Alien fans, this was a true labour of love. At a time when the Arts is under threat from a force more dangerous than any Xenomorph [the film] shows just how important the medium is in providing entertainment, joy & bringing people together.

I watched the film which is being streamed in the UK. I enjoyed it immensely. Well done to the cast and crew who persevered after the initial disappointment. Well worth watching.
