Posted: 6/25/11 at 2:49amDid anyone see this show yet? I am seeing it tomorrow and I wanna know what I'm in for. A musical about Silence of the lambs sounds pretty serious.

I have a recording of it and it is hilarious.
It's by Jon and Al Kaplan. They have also done 24: Season 2: The Musical and the Lonely Island medley from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.
I can strongly recommend checking out their site, all the song are downloadable.

Posted: 12/6/11 at 2:26pmWhat Jessie said. It's a very broad (one might even say low) comedy, turning the Silence of the Lambs on end. It's very, very silly, and often profane. 90 minutes, no intermission.

Posted: 12/6/11 at 2:41pmI'm sort of over the "_______: The Musical!" satire shows. They really all start to seem the same after the first dozen of them or so.

It's everything ghostlight said above -- silly, profane, and low. It's also only sporadically funny. I'd say as many jokes fall flat as land, though more of them land well than do thud resoundingly, so it's a pretty mixed bag. David Garrison's Lector is worth the ticket price, though. I hope you have a good time!

Posted: 12/6/11 at 2:43pmIs this the one that was at the Fringe Festival a few years back? It was a fun time then. :)

Yes, Plum. It's essentially the same, but wisely shorter and without intermission.
I'll absolutely second mysteriousgrowl in that Garrison is worth every dime. He made the show for me. Deidre Goodwin is also very funny, and has a fantastic 11th hour number.
