About This Show
Just Sit Right Back and You’ll Hear a Tale…
Look out America, Gilligan’s Island The Musical is docking at a desert island near you and the hilarity found in America’s most cherished sitcom is in full effect in this larger than life stage musical. Bringing back all those well known and beloved characters from one of the most popular television shows of all time, this lovable musical comedy is sure to please the generations of audiences that the television show first inspired.
The show is a straightforward story of relationships and survival. Beginning with the #1 TV theme song of all time, Gilligan, The Skipper, Mary Ann, Ginger, The Professor, and The Millionaire and his wife are shipwrecked and trying to get off the island. Natural disasters befall them, hurricanes, quicksand, etc., as they learn to get along and survive. Their biggest challenge comes from the U.F.O. and its Alien, who monitors their behavior. By the end of the play, the castaways manage to defeat the extraterrestrial and save the entire planet, while staying marooned themselves. Updated somewhat to reflect the times, the musical still has comedy, heart, love, drama, nostalgia, and sing-able songs that stick true to the characters that audiences have fallen in love with for the last 40 years.
The tour will officially launch in Clearwater, Florida at The Ruth Eckerd Hall on March 4, with additional Florida stops at Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce (March 5), and Wilson Center for the Arts in Jacksonville (March 6-8).
