The cult film classic has new life as a zany musical. The Blands want to open a restaurant, but they need cash. Suppose they lure weirdos to their apartment to kill and rob them? Soon, they are a financial success, but disposing of the bodies is a problem. Enter their devious apartment super, Raoul, with a proposition: he will take care of the corpses for a cut (when he’s not performing at a tacky nightclub). The partnership runs amok—who will Mary bop with the frying pan??

“Fun.” – The Los Angeles Times

“The most entertaining musical about sex and cannibalism around.” – Back Stage West

“A merry, murderous musical romp.” – Drama Logue
