SILENCE! The Musical

SILENCE! The Musical is a hilarious ‘unauthorized’ parody based on the Academy Award winning film, The Silence of the Lambs.  Rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling (Emily Jabas) matches wits with the brilliant but insane cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Tim Kuehl) in order to catch the serial killer known as Buffalo Bill (Ryan London Levin). Clarice faces her own demons while racing the clock to unlock Lecter’s clues before another innocent girl is killed and skinned by Buffalo Bill.  This laugh-out-loud naughty satire features a singing chorus of floppy eared lambs narrating the action as Buffalo Bill gleefully dances a hoedown while kidnapping hapless Catherine Martin (Amanda Weis). Even Dr. Lecter, scary as ever, sings about the life he’d like to lead someday outside the prison walls.

SILENCE! The Musical (lyrics & music by Jon Kaplan & Al Kaplan and book by Hunter Bell) will be produced by Bitter Boy Productions (Steven Meerdink) and Minneapolis Musical Theatre at the Lab Theater (www.thelabtheater.org).  With direction by Steven Meerdink and music direction by Matthew Bear.
