Cannibal! The Musical: Casting News & More

#EATME!

Get used to that hashtag, you’re going to be seeing a lot of it!

Starvox Entertainment recently announced the (all Canadian!) cast list for the world premiere of Cannibal! The Musical, hitting Toronto’s Panasonic Theatre this upcoming February and March.

Based on South Park‘s  Trey Parker’s fan-favourite film of the same name, Cannibal! on stage boasts an entirely new production, with new songs, jokes, and an all-star Canadian cast!

Christopher Bond, Aaron Eyre, and Trevor Martin, who you might remember being the geniuses behind certain little productions called Evil Dead: The Musical (which I literally saw ten times, it’s that good.) and Night of The Living Dead Live!, re-vamped the film for stage with their tried and true brand of hilarious music and storytelling.

Cannibal! The Musical follows five miners from Utah who embark on a treacherous journey to stake their claim on land in the Colorado Territory. Led by their reluctant guide, Alferd Packer, the group encounters trappers, natives and a whole lot of tom-foolery before losing their way in the Rocky Mountains. When they are found days later, Alferd is the only one left standing, and the Sheriff arrests him for cannibalism – but what really happened out on them there mountains? Intrepid reporter Polly Pry is determined to tell the REAL story… that is, if she doesn’t fall in love with the unsuspecting Packer first.

If you’re at all familiar with Bond and Martin’s flare for the wacky and wonderful, you know this isn’t a production to miss. With song titles like “Shpadoinkle” and “Hang The Bastard”, it’s going to be parody of classic American musicals the world needs. Not to mention, you know everything that was ever born out of Trey Parker’s brain is genius.

Bond had this to say along with the casting release:

“I’ve been a long-time Trey Parker fan, and when I saw the film version of Cannibal! The Musical I loved it. As fans of the original, we’ve made sure to stay true to its campy spirit, while adding more goofs and hilarious songs. It’s allowed us to bring something new to the stage that has the same vintage Trey Parker wit. Now with our stellar cast – a range of talented comedians and musical theatre pros – we’ve got the perfect group to bring this creation to life.”
