Silence! The Musical (The Unauthorized Parody of The Silence of the Lambs)

Dining Out Productions—John Hirsch Mainstage

Good acting + good singing + catchy tunes + Academy Award winning plot = success. This musical has all of those things so most everyone should enjoy the show. There’s only one thing I could not reconcile:
this many years later, The Silence of the Lambs remains one of the creepiest movies I ever saw. It really isn’t congruent with the humour injected throughout the musical. I probably would have made a sombre show rather than a comedy but that’s just a matter of personal taste.

Is it me or is the final tune almost plagiarism similar to Disney’s “Colours of the Wind?”
