About the show: Cannibal! The Musical is the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alferd Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he tells his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Pry as he awaits his execution. And his story goes like this: While searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors, including toe-tapping songs! "Cannibal! is the perfect musical to ring-in the fall season," offers Director Deb Flomberg-Rollins. "Audiences will love this fresh adaptation of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's first film. Before The Book of Mormon and before South Park these two hometown heroes created this ridiculously over-the-top work of hilarious art. And I can guarantee a truly shpadoinkle time at this one!"Cannibal The Musical features the talents of: Mike Moran as Alferd Packer, Wade Wood as Shannon Bell, Matt Davis as Israel Swan, Jeremy Atkins as James Humphrey, Koby Adams as George Noon, Cam Leonard as Frank Miller, James Crapes as Frenchy Cabazon, Anna Sturtz as Polly Pry, Jack Mariotti as Professor Nutter, Joseph Graves as OD Loutzenheiser, Larissa Flemming as Lianne, Caroline Fink as the Chief, Alysha Rowzee as Humprey's Mom/Ute/Squa and Linn Russell as The Doomsayer/Cyclops.
"Before there was South Park, Baseketball, or Orgazmo, there was this Rocky Mountain freakout from the fevered imaginations of Parker and Stone, a rousingly lowbrow retelling of the legend of Colorado cannibal Alferd Packer and his bizarre culinary gifts... It's a ridiculous, over-the-top carnival of gore, sophomorically sly humor, and cheese-whiz choreography that manages -- above all odds -- to be cheerily invigorating as well." - Austin Chronicle
"Unafraid to poke fun of itself, and with many pop culture references, Cannibal! The Musical is a delicious treat for everyone." - Best of Toronto
