From the co-creator of South Park and The Book of Mormon, comes the "All Singing! All Dancing! All Flesh Eating!" Trey Parker's Cannibal! The Musical live on stage.


Cannibal! The Musical is the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alfred Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he tells his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Pry as he awaits his execution. And his story goes like this: While searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors, including toe-tapping songs!


"Unafraid to poke fun of itself, and with many pop culture references, Cannibal! The Musical is a delicious treat for everyone." - Best of Toronto


"The songs are great, the choreography enthusiastic and fun, and even miscues - like a laughing corpse - add to the meta energy of the play... In a word, Trey Parker's Cannibal! The Musical is distasteful. Deliciously so." - Toronto Sun


Cannibal! The Musical is the Australian and South Australian non-professional theatre premiere of this show. Briggs & Heaysman Theatre Co. are proud to perform this musical to Adelaide audiences just before the arrival of The Book of Mormon in Melbourne, Australia. We are to shine the spotlight on some of Adelaide's finest performers and rising stars in amateur theatre in South Australia.
