Marc Miller takes a look at Teeth at Playwrights Horizons:
You've probably heard about it as "the musical about the penis-eating vagina." Yes, but Teeth aims to be something more–a horror musical that also takes in repression, misogyny, violence, and the generally f'd up state of relations between the sexes. Based on a 2007 cult film by Mitchell Lichtenstein, and with a book by Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs, music by Jacobs, and lyrics by Jackson, Teeth is sometimes hilarious and, yes, horrifying, and will make most of the men in the audience cross their legs a lot. But I have some issues with it. |
