In America the film ‘Eating Raoul’ achieved cult status and this musical certainly maintains its entertainment value. We follow the married couple Mary and Paul Bland who wish to open a restaurant but cannot yet finance it. So they open a massage parlour and before long they realise that it is far more profitable just to kill and rob their clients. Therefore, ‘Blands’ quickly becomes a financial success though simultaneously, it also gets more and more difficult to get rid of the bodies. Then one day, the sleazy Latin American nightclub singer, Raoul enters their life and offers them an alternative partnership. Eventually it ends in a schemed chaos where Mary has to decide whether to kill Raoul or her husband with her lethal frying pan. Though despite the chaos it all ends merrily with Paul and Mary enjoying a gastronomic Latin American supper!
