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?
MARY BLAND – Very pretty, unconsciously sexy in a naive sort of way. PAUL BLAND – Prematurely balding, somewhat overweight and hopelessly square but sincere, tenacious and lovable. DR. DOBERMAN – An officious lecher. MR. KRAY – Fat and mean. MR. LEECH – An oily, smooth-talking womanizer. METER MAID – Hip and bored with it all. HOWARD – Bad taste incarnate who thinks he's hip. DONNA THE DOMINATRIX – A kinky little bundle of energy with a voice as big as all outdoors; at home a sweet young housewife and mother. JAMES – Always smiling, would say or do anything to make a sale. BOBBY – An obsessive case of arrested adolescence. JUNIOR – A rotund gourmand. RAOUL – A sexy young Latino with a weakness for girls and a talent to match his gigantic ego. THE RAOULETTES (Gladys and Inez) – Two knockout, if sluttish, young chicas. All boobs, butt and tongue. YOLANDA – A former star of a certain age. Heavy Latino accent. GINGER – Built like a football player but dresses like Ginger Rogers –and can dance like her too.
OTHERS – Tourists, Swingers, Stick-up Man, etc.

“A merry, murderous musical romp.” – Drama-Logue
“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.” – The Houston Chronicle
“Fun.” – The Los Angeles Times
“The most entertaining musical about sex and cannibalism around.” – Backstage West
