SILENCE! The Musical, the infamous unauthorised parody of the Academy Award-winning movie The Silence of The Lambs, is bringing its singing serial killers, tap-dancing lambs, and gleefully unstoppable dangerous style to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer season, adopted by a run at The Turbine Theatre 4-28 September 2024.
I noticed this present off-Broadway a few years in the past and have been prepared it to come back to London ever since!
As rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling matches wits with the sensible however insane Dr. Hannibal Lecter in an intense serial killer chase, essentially the most horrific of topics are paired with a refrain of singing lambs narrating the motion and breaking out into cheerful present tunes with unprintable music titles.
Initially premiering in 2005 off-Broadway, SILENCE! combines whip-smart dialogue, stunning songs, and over-the-top performances in a parody that’s fashionable with seasoned followers of the movie and FBI rookies alike. Spinning the horror style to incorporate the absurd, SILENCE! The Musical can have audiences laughing within the face of hazard.
With an on-stage ensemble of ten, the forged consists of Mark Oxtoby (Guys and Dolls) as Lecter, Phoebe Panaretos (Zorro) as Clarice, Tom Giles (The Lord of the Rings) as Pembry, Jake Anthony (Cabaret Le Cirque) as Buffalo Invoice, Matt Bond (Making A Assassin: A Musical) as Chilton, Paul Ryan (A Christmas Carol) as Crawford, Sebastian Goffin (Carousel) as Dream Hannibal, Jenay Naima (The Bodyguard Musical) as Arelia, Catherine Millsom (Kinky Boots) as Catherine and Nathalie Marrable (My Honest Girl) as Dream Clarice.
SILENCE! involves Edinburgh Fringe and the Turbine Theatre with a few of the authentic creators behind it, together with the excellent director-choreographer Christopher Gattelli (Wonka, Newsies The Musical, Dying Turns into Her) and designer Scott Pask (The Pillowman, The Coast of Utopia, The Ebook of Mormon), each Tony award-winning.
