Before South Park and The Book of Mormon, there was Trey Parker’s fan-favourite film, Cannibal! The Musical. This winter Trey Parker’s Cannibal the Musical makes its world premiere as a re-vamped stage show with new jokes and new songs, bearing all the hallmarks of a Parker-Stone collaboration – it’s the Canadian theatre event of the season, and runs from February 10 until March 8 at the Panasonic Theatre.
The musical follows five miners from Utah who embark on a treacherous journey to stake their claim on land in the Colorado Territory. Led by their reluctant guide, Alferd Packer, the group encounters trappers, natives and a whole lot of tom-foolery before losing their way in the Rocky Mountains. When they’re found days later Alferd is the only one left standing, and the Sheriff arrests him for cannibalism – but what really happened out on them there mountains? Intrepid reporter Polly Pry is determined to tell the REAL story… that is, if she doesn’t fall in love with the unsuspecting Packer first.
Starring Elicia MacKenzie (from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Sound of Music”) and Triple Sensation’s Liam Tobin, and Second City stars Mike “Nug” Nahrgang, Marc Andrada, Marty Adams and Trevor Martin, “Cannibal The Musical!” promises to be a hilarious evening of Trey Parker zaniness. Additional book, lyrics and music were created by Christopher Bond, Aaron Eyre and Trevor Martin.
