Synopsis
The cult film classic has new life as a zany musical. The Blands want to open a restaurant, but they need cash. Suppose they lure weirdos to their apartment to kill and rob them? Soon, they are a financial success, but disposing of the bodies is a problem. Enter their devious apartment super, Raoul, with a proposition: he will take care of the corpses for a cut (when he's not performing at a tacky nightclub). The partnership runs amok and Mary ultimately bops Raoul with her deadly frying pan. Now the Blands have the money they need and they celebrate with a gourmet meal---guess who's the main course? "Quintessential ... offbeat fare.... Quirky, campy, even a shade kinky, it also is original, fast paced and consistently funny.... It may prove the season's most delectable treat." Houston Chronicle. "Fun." L.A. Times. "Quintessential offbeat fare.... It is original, fast paced and consistently funny." Houston Chronicle. "The most entertaining musical about sex and cannibalism around." Back Stage West. "A merry, murderous musical romp." Drama Logue.
