WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Here's a comic fable about agoraphobia, adultery, 80s nostalgia, spray cheese, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, a broken electric chair, kleptomania, strippers, flan, and disco. In short, it's everything a musical should be.
Norbert is a toll collector married to his high school sweetheart, Jeannie. They'd love to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in a big way, but Jeannie hasn't been able to step outside their mobile home in "Armadillo Acres" since the terrible day when her son was kidnapped and she got a really bad perm. The stripper Pippi blows into town on the run from her magic marker-sniffing, ex-boyfriend Duke. When Norbert falls for Pippi, it's up to Jeannie to overcome her fear and go get her man.
Guiding us through the battle for love and happiness is a thrillingly trashy Greek chorus of trailer park matrons--Betty, Pickles and Linoleum. In delicious three-part harmony, they raise the roof with a playlist of American music full of the blues, gospel, country rock, R&B (and don't forget disco!).
This rousing musical comedy about take-no-prisoners women, their no-account men, and the Florida trailer park they call home, will make you want to crack open a beer, grab a lawn chair and figure out which side of the tracks you came from.
