Shpadoinkle,
The Rival Theatre Company is proud to present the UK PREMIERE of
CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL - LIVE ON STAGE.
Adapted from the cult film by
Trey Parker, creator of SOUTH PARK and TEAM AMERICA.
Starring BBC Voice of Musical Theatre Winner - Aimie Atkinson as Polly Pry
and James Topping (Blood Brothers, 39 Steps) as Alfred Packer
Cannibal! The Musical tells the tale of Alferd ‘Alfred Packer', the only American ever to be convicted of cannibalism. As Packer faces a judge and jury, he recounts his journey across Colorado Territory in 1873 leading a hapless group in search of gold.
6 Men went up 1 came down, with indigestion!
Cannibal! is a perilous tour de force filled with cowboys, horse-love, snowmen, evil trappers, the Cyclops and other unthinkable horrors…including toe-tapping tunes! Don't miss this cannibalistic cowboy musical. The most terrifying, gut-wrenching and hilarious musical since The Sound of Music.
It's a Man eat Man world out there!
Shpadoinkle!
