Cannibal! The Musical
Cannibal! The Musical (or, Alferd Packer The Musical) is our big 2007 offering and comes directly from Trey Parker, creator of the South Park Series. The show has never before been performed on Irish soil so we’re delighted to bring the Irish premiere of the show to Kilkenny. Here’s what the good folks in American have to say…
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!
The show is certainly more comedy based than musical based but with songs like “When I Was On Top Of You”, “Lets Build A Snowman” and “Hang The Bastard”, you’re bound to find yourself singing and laughing along!
This is our first large-scale production and takes place in the soon to be refurbished Watergate Theatre, Parliament Street, Kilkenny from August 22nd to August 25th. Tickets, €12, are available to book now and can be done so by phoning the Watergate Theatre on +353 56 7761674.
While Cannibal! The Musical is currently in rehearsal stage, we will gradually be adding plenty of information on what promises to be one of the theatrical highlights of the year. For details on the cast and crew behind the show click here and keep an eye on the Cannibal! The Musical news from the homepage for updates from the rehearsal process as well.
We look forward to seeing you at this show in August! Don’t be a stranger too, if you’re coming along or traveling to Kilkenny to the show why not introduce yourself to us before or after the performance? You’re bound to find us hanging around the theatre all Devious like!
