"Teeth: A Gory Musical Satire of Female Sexuality"
TL;DR Summary
"Teeth," a gory musical based on the cult horror film, explores themes of faith, shame, and sexual violence through provocative high-mindedness and low satire, featuring catchy pop-rock tunes with sharp, smutty rhymes. The show, a collaboration between Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs, presents a parable set in a paternalistic faith community where men believe in restoring male dominance, leading to dismemberment and bloody amputated penises, offering a mix of unexpected, contrarian, and maximalist elements that may not blend into a satisfying whole.
