I wasn’t aware that Sir Anthony Hopkins could carry a tune!🙂 And wouldn’t it be hard to sing with that face mask thing on? ---

Wouldn’t this basically be a lot like Phantom of the Opera? Seriously - brilliant psycho, intense relationship to naive prodigy, murder and death and so forth. And the Phantom and Lecter both wear masks! ---

It’s not a hoax, per se, but it’s not a “real” musical. Reading the bio, it’s just a couple of guys who wanted to do something wacky with their degrees in music. ---

It was hilarious! As a huge fan of the movie, I loved all of the small jokes and nods to tiny insignificant parts of the film. I actually have a souvenir button from this show pinned to my messanger bag. ---

This would be good at a dinner theater. You just know the Chianti would be sold out by the 2nd act. ---
