Envisioning Bob Saget’s Danny Tanner as anything other than dad of the year may seem damn-near impossible, but in Attend the Tale of Danny Tanner: A Full House Musical , showing tonight at Gorilla Tango Theatre, you get to see him portrayed as a homicidal maniac. “Writers Chris Gorton and Katie Johnston-Smith have made Danny a psychopath who memorializes his wife by killing one drunk driver a year on the anniversary of her death,” writes Tony Adler, “that’s OK with Jesse and Joe—until Danny starts getting sloppy.” Sounds hilariously dark.
