Cannibal! The Musical is the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alferd Packer (according to Colorado lore). 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 silliness of the script’s humor is well positioned against the pseudo gore, although when Packer faces his impending punishment for cannibalism, the mood decidedly tenses until a break of comic relief is delivered by Polly. The Landless production of Cannibal the Musical offers Washington a thoroughly entertaining romp that will keep you laughing until the curtain call as Parker’s witty script perfectly matches the dynamic cast, who effortlessly transition between spot-on song and dance, nimble stage fighting and dynamic dialogue. Give yourself and a loved one the gift of laughter this December by seeing Cannibal the Musical, you won’t regret it!"

s foolish clan of cave boys does, by the end, blaze a trail to be reckoned with. Cannibal! the Musical, written by “South Park” co-creator Trey Parker, is a rowdy, randy, supremely inexpert rockslide of a show, which comes about as close to capturing the beauty of the American West as a night of frat party Polaroids adds up to an Ansel Adams exhibit.
