Farewell to The Silence of the Lambs Musical Parody Silence!
Brent Barret and Jenn Harris in Silence! The Musical (© Carol Rosegg) After a two-year run off-Broadway, Silence! The Musical is bleating its final farewell this Sunday, July 7.
The show, an unauthorized musical parody of the 1991 Academy Award-winning thriller The Silence of the Lambs, follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Laura Jordan) as she enlists the help of refined British doctor/cannibal Hannibal Lecter (Sean McDermott) in tracking serial killer "Buffalo Bill" (David Ayers). Silence! features a book by Tony Award nominee Hunter Bell ([title of show]) and a score by Jon and Al Kaplan.
If the end of Silence! feels like having your skin carefully removed.
