SILENCE the MUSICAL

This 2005 musical parody of Silence of the Lambs, created by Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan is based on the 1991 Academy Award winning movie.

South Shore Theatre Experience presented the Long Island Premiere in October 2014 and brought it back for a second run 2 years later to VERY enthusiastic audiences.

Starring:

Emily Vaeth, Martin Knapp, Avery Powell, Cassidy King, Leslie Ippolito, Sean King, Chris Wadolowski, Thaddeus C. Plezia, Rosie Collette

"Pungent, punchy and raunchy, with a sheepish chorus to boot, the consummately silly 'Silence!' will leave you stuffed and wanting mutton more."

Review by David Cote from Time Out New York

"As reverential of its source material as it is gleefully subversive, 'Silence! The Musical' is a hell of a lot funnier than it has a right to be."

Review by Frank Scheck from The New York Post

"The songs by Jon and Al Kaplan pump up the fun by taking famous lines from the film to ridiculous extremes."

Review by Matt Windman from AM NY
