No, there isn’t a song that rhymes fava beans. Or Chianti. But an unauthorized musical parody of the 1991 thriller Silence of the Lambs did open Off Broadway this week following a successful Fringe Festival run (and multiple YouTube clicks for some of its numbers). And as I wrote in my grade-b review, Silence! The Musical “is a little longer than it needs to be and the percentage of jokes hitting their target would earn only passing marks on the Quantico firing range.” But Jenn Harris nails Jodie Foster’s speaking style as Clarice, and Brent Barrett is deliciously deadpan as Hannibal.

[1] Funny folks Jeff Garlin and Mary Lynn Rajskub have signed on for Safety Not Guaranteed, which will also star Kristen Bell, Aubrey Plaza (Parks & Recreation), Lynn Shelton (Humpday), Jenica Bergere (Rat Race), Jake Johnson (No Strings Attached), Mark Duplass, and newcomer Karan Soni. The comedy centers around "three magazine employees sent to investigate a classified ad from a man seeking a partner for time travel" and is based on an actual ad [2] that was once featured on the Jay Leno Show. Safety Not Guaranteed will be the first feature by Colin Trevorrow, who is directing from Derek Connolly's original screenplay. Big Beach Films (Little Miss Sunshine) and Duplass Brothers Productions (The Puffy Chair) are producing, which should probably give you some hint as to what kind of humor and general vibe we can expect. The film is currently shooting in Seattle. [The Hollywood Reporter [3]] After the jump, Hilary Swank considers co-starring with...

The new trend (as odd as it is) lately seems to be to take some of the horror genre's most notable films and turn them into bizarro musicals made specifically for the stage. Well, I guess it's better than a remake.
Variety reports that Brent Barrett and Jenn Harris will lead the cast of the Silence of the Lambs spoof Silence! The Musical, which is gearing up for a commercial Off Broadway production beginning in June.
Harris, who plays FBI agent Clarice Starling in the unauthorized parody of the Oscar-winning 1991 thriller, initially appeared in the show during its debut run at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2005. Broadway regular Barrett is on board as Hannibal Lecter in the production, to be directed by Christopher Gattelli.
A return Gotham visit for Silence! has been percolating since the show's well-sold outing at the Fringe, with a U.K. staging hitting London last year.

Ashlee Simpson was left red-faced on live U.S. TV on Thursday, December 24, after forgetting the name of her leading man in Broadway musical "Chicago". The singer-turned-actress made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart on November 30.
And, after almost a month of performances, Simpson was tongue-tied when asked to recall her co-star Brent Barrett, the actor who plays Billy Flynn, during a segment on breakfast program, "The Today Show".
Embarrassed, the star appeared desperate to remember the name, but instead excused herself: "Oh my god! Names, names, names, names, names."
The 25 year old has already tested her popularity backstage - cast members reportedly complained she barricaded her family from the rest of the cast in "a makeshift VIP section", at an after-party for her debut.
