TL;DR

"Teeth," a new musical based on the 2007 film, explores the dark side of purity culture in America through a blend of horror and comedy. Set in a Christian community, the show delves into the themes of self-loathing, misogyny, and violence while also addressing the concept of vagina dentata. While the production is praised for its humor and performances, it is critiqued for losing some of its humanity and becoming diffuse as it delves into extreme allegorical revenge.
