The Off-Broadway production of Silence! The Musical, which recently concluded its extended engagement at Theater 80, will transfer to the 9th Space Theater at P.S. 122 for an open-ended run beginning October 25.

The show, with a book by Hunter Bell and music and lyrics by Jon and Al Kaplan, is an unauthorized parody of the thriller Silence of the Lambs, which focuses on rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling as she uses her relationship with Dr. Hannibal Lecter to hunt serial killer Buffalo Bill. Christopher Gattelli has directed and choreographed the production.

The remounted production will feature some cuts, and will now perform without an intermission. It is expected that Jenn Harris will reprise her role as Clarice in the new run, but no casting has been officially announced.

The production features set design by Scott Pask, costume design by David Kaley, lighting design by Jeff Croiter, and sound design by Carl Casella.
