Dahmer the musical


The big idea guys on Broadway sure seem to bring out some grand ideas. A musical about Billy Joel, Jack the Ripper, Lestat( the vampyre), Elvis and now Jeffrey Dahmer. "We didn't focus so much on the murdering" says Alan Woods, producer. "Its really a love story. A story of a man who loves other men so much, he can't let them leave. I can understand his madness. Dahmer simply loved too much". Well, that may be but he also killed too much. When asked if there would be a scene in the show, where a man's butt is in a freezer Mr Woods said 'no'. "We have the set arranged with corpses , a few skulls and a refridgerator full of 'man-meat', tastefully done. But again were aren't doing a horror show, nothing like "Sweeney Todd".
When reading some of the rehersal score sheets, some of the songs seem grim, Silly boy you know I love ya'...It's just this darn necrophilia..
"We have hired some of the finest song writers in the business. I'm sure everyone will be amazed by our catchy tunes and wonderful show", said Mr. Woods.
Some of the songs written; "I love you too much to let you go", "He's cute he's drugged and he's MINE", "My happy hunting ground-Milwaukee", "You won't get away little monkey", "fresh butt in the freezer" and many more.
