REVIEWS

“A bright piece of musical comedy fun for the ‘silly season'” – Stage Whispers
“This wacky musical is pretty much what the title suggests – goofy and fun … The performers are clearly in high glee.” – Alternative Media Group
“A fun, let it all hang out night in the theatre.” – Sydney Arts Guide
“A rollicking ride, carried along with gusto” – Daily Telegraph
“Could walk all over some of the ritzier, glitzier, more cynical exercises that pass for musicals these days … it’s rendered with a quotient of sweetness, affection and empathy that makes it all the more appealing.” – Crikey.com
“Sit back and enjoy the ride. It is such fun and a perfect way to escape from Christmas stress.”- Oz Baby Boomers

ABOUT THE SHOW

Welcome to the Armadillo Acres, the most exclusive trailer park in North Florida, where having your baby kidnapped isn’t half as tragic as a getting a bad perm.

Jeannie is an agoraphobic couch-potato addicted to Oprah and Dr Phil. Her husband Norbert, frustrated with a wife who won’t venture further than the front step of their trailer, has taken to haunting the local strip club and become obsessed with exotic dancer Pippi. But Pippi’s got a past and it turns up in the form of Duke, her magic-marker-sniffing bikie ex-boyfriend who’s determined to win her back. So trailer neighbours Betty, Lin and Pickles team up to save the day.

A delightful, fast-paced musical comedy with a witty and wildly funny book and a clever country-rock and blues inspired score, The Great American Trailer Park Musical promises to be everything the title suggests!
