Synopsis

The cult film classic has new life as a zany musical.

The Blands want to open a restaurant, but they need cash.

Suppose they lure weirdos to their apartment to kill and rob them?

Press Reviews

"Quintessential… offbeat fare… Quirky, campy, even a shade kinky, it also is original, fast paced and consistently funny… It may prove the season’s most delectable treat."

— The Houston Chronicle

"The most entertaining musical about sex and cannibalism around."

— Backstage West
