Broadway choreographer Christopher Gattelli reprises the director-choreographer duties he first performed for the show's 2005 premiere as part of the Ninth Annual New York Fringe Festival at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. That previous outing won it the 2005 New York Fringe Festival Outstanding Musical Award. Featuring a book by Broadway actor Hunter Bell (who co-wrote and appeared in Broadway's [title of show], for which he was nominated for the 2009 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical), the score is by Jon and Al Kaplan. According to press materials, the songs were written in 2003 as a labor of love by the two brothers, who were struggling to break into L.A.'s competitive film composing industry. Their catchy tunes and outrageous lyrics gained a cult online following that culminated in the evolution of the stage show. The London production will feature additional numbers especially written for the U.K."

The show stays true to the story, dialogue and details of the Oscar winning film, "The Silence of the Lambs." Familiar and gruesome quotes – "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" — are included as Hannibal Lecter, Buffalo Bill and FBI rookie Clarice Starling re-enact their psychological duelling in over-the-top performances before a Greek chorus of floppy-eared lambs.

Miles Western, who won the 2001 Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in Musical for his appearance as Miss West Coast/Tawny Jo Johnson in Pageant on its transfer from the King's Head to the West End's Vaudeville Theatre, stars as Hannibal Lecter. He also appeared in Pageant in Chicago. He has also appeared onstage in When Midnight Strikes (Finborough Thetare) and in Taste the Love (Jermyn Street Theatre). His TV and film credits include Brian in "Game in TV" (Sky), Harry Lebovitz in "Doctors" (BBC), and Martin in "Absolutely Fabulous" (BBC), and as Laurent the wig maker in Joel Schumacher's film version of "The Phantom of the Opera."
