ABOUT THE PLAY...
This high camp musical comedy is a stage adaptation of the 1995 independent film that launched the career of South Park creators Trey Parker (screenplay, music and lyrics) and Matt Stone (lead actor in the film.)
Cannibal! The Musical, Live on Stage is a fictionalized account of Alfred Packer, the only American ever to be convicted of cannibalism. Packer is the legendary "Colorado Cannibal" of the 1870s, a cult figure among students on many college campuses in that state. The musical tells the tale of Packer and his beloved horse Liane who leads a group of gold miners through the blizzards of the Colorado Rockies. Naturally, the group gets lost, tempers flare and the bitter cold begins to take its toll. The group is forced to resort to unthinkable horrors—including musical numbers like "When I was on Top of You," "Hang the Bastard," "Let's Build a Snowman," and "Shpadoinkle Day!" When Packer returns as the sole survivor, a rescue team the partially consumed corpses and Packer is convicted of cannibalism.
