I thought this was way too juicy not to pass along, though it's been getting a lot of press.The Silence of the Lambs (1991) has been made into a musical!
Called Silence! (yes, exclamation point) it is slated to open off-Broadway this September.
Some tracks from the production have apparently been circling the net since Silence! won the 2005 Outstanding Musical award from the New York Fringe Festival.
For those of you about to wet your pants - you know who you are, you're the same people who sqwacked about Evil Dead (1981) being made into a musical - the production is meant to a be a parody.
From the website:
"Silence sings, dances and skewers the idiosyncratic characters from the movie with ruthless accuracy and uproarious hilarity."
Listen to them here. Especially "Quid Pro Quo" and "Put the F-ing Lotion in the Basket".
Apparently, the critics are loving it. It's certainly worth a laugh.
