RETURNING MAY 16TH - JUNE 7TH
REVIEW JOURNAL: "GRADE: A!" ALL TALK RADIO: "BRILLIANT!" CITY LIFE: "EAT IT UP!"
"...Beane not only adds layers of comedy, he transforms the movie into an homage of stage convention..." - Anthony Del Valle
The INSURGO THEATER MOVEMENT presents THE GREATEST FREAKING MUSICAL SINCE FRIDAY THE 13th PART II …
Trey Parker's CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL
"Consistently funny, oft brilliant, deadpan comedy." - New York Daily News
"Eternal fire awaits all involved." - LA Weekly DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, THE GREATEST MUSICAL OF ALL TIME, EVER, RETURNS TO THE ONYX THEATRE! Executive produced by Jason McHugh from the original movie, the Insurgo Theater Movement takes a break from existential angst to stage the infamous B-Movie cult classic CANNIBAL THE MUSICAL! by South Park and TEAM AMERICA co-creator Trey Parker. About the Production "We have assembled the motley-est group of animals in town, and for this town, that's insanity," said show director John Beane. 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! Featuring mass carnage, horse love, and the fearsome Cyclops – CANNIBAL! is the greatest freaking musical since Friday the 13th Part II! Written by Trey Parker, the creator of SOUTH PARK and TEAM AMERICA, the production features the talents of Lance Burton lead clown Tommie Lang, Second City Training Center alum's Sandy Stein and Glen Heath, Insurgo company members Shawn Hackler, Heather Chamberlain, Timothy Burris and Cynthia Vodovoz, and a host of other freaks, actors and dancers. Group rates are available.
About the Writer Trey Parker (South Park, Team America) Originally a student of music, director Trey Parker transferred from the prestigious Berklee School of Music to Colorado University at Boulder to study film, and it was there he gave birth to his twisted brainchild "Alferd Packer: The Musical". Parker not only wrote, produced, directed and played the leading role in the film, he also wrote the songs and collaborated on the score. The film began as a three minute fake trailer made for an advanced film production class and, as a joke the director said he was going to make the actual film. "People kept asking 'Where's the movie?" says Parker "The response was so positive, we decided we'd do it" Together with fellow students Matt Stone, Jason McHugh and Ian Hardin (average age 23) they formed the Avenging Conscience Inc production company and raised $75,000 from private investors, friends and family by the day they needed to start shooting. They employed fellow students as cast members and took parts in the film themselves each stepping into each others shoes behind the camera when necessary. From conception to being in the can the film took around twelve months.
