Shannon Matthews: The Musical... The Movie
Shannon Matthews: The Musical... The Movie is an independent, true-crime, dark comedy musical film based on the events surrounding the disappearance of little Shannon Matthews, aged 9, in Dewsbury, Yorkshire in 2008.
Shannon Matthews: The Musical... The Movie showcases new alternative comedy at its anarchic best, casting Mother-from-Hell Karen Matthews as a classic sitcom lead in the vein of Brent, Fawlty, Barley and Tyrell - eccentric, delusional and odious but utterly compelling.
The language used is brutal and outrageous, while the dark humour of the plot, the staged kidnapping of Karen's daughter in an attempt to cash in on the reward money and the subsequent police search, is even more ridiculous and unbelievable for being based on real events. The whole shebang is punctuated with indefensible, toe-tapping earworms like Shannon Ain't Dead (She's Under My Bed), Different Dads and I've Got A Plan (Based On Maddie McCann). La La Land it most definitely is not.
