"Raunchy, R-Rated and Ridiculous" - Brad Rhines, New Orleans Advocate

"It's tongue so far in its cheek that it practically comes out its ear to the delight of the audience." - Brian Sands, Ambush Magazine

ABOUT SILENCE!

Silence! The Musical is the unauthorized parody of the Academy Award-winning film, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.  The project began in 2003 as an internet musical made up of nine songs that retold the entire story of The Silence of the Lambs. The audio tracks became popular to the extent that a live show was conceived and staged. Six additional songs were written by Jon & Al Kaplan, and the book was written by Hunter Bell (Title of Show) based on the original screenplay. 

The stage musical premiered in the Lucille Lortel Theatre, New York, on August 12, 2005 as part of the New York International Fringe Festival.  Silence!had its European premiere in London on October 19, 2009, showing for two weeks at the Barons Court Theatre.  An off-Broadway mounting of the show opened June 24-September 26, 2011 at Theatre 80, It transferred to the 9th Space Theatre at PS 122on October 24, 2011.  The musical reopened on January 18, 2013 at the Elektra Theatre, in New York City'sTimes Square, through August 13. Silence!played 67 performances at the Hayworth Theatrein Los Angeles in late 2012.
