About SILENCE! The Musical

SILENCE! THE MUSICAL is the unauthorized parody of the Academy Award winning film, “THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.”

At last, this delicate symphony of suspense has been turned on its ear and retold in the only way it can be — as a musical.
Composer brothers Jon & Al Kaplan stop the show over and over again with numbers like “Are You About a Size 14?” “Put the Lotion in the Basket,” and others with hilariously unprintable titles.
Winner of the NYCFringe’s Outstanding Musical Award, SILENCE! The Musical combines whip-smart dialogue, shocking songs, and over-the-top performances to make a musical parody of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS that’s sure to be popular with seasoned fans of the movie and FBI rookies alike.
