Gilligan's Island: The Musical preview

- Where: Cox Building Playhouse, 1517 Avenue H, Plano
- Cost: $0.01 - $10
- Age limit: Not available
Rover Dramawerks is excited to announce a change in their 2007-08 season. Rover is pleased to present the regional premiere of Gilligan's Island: the Musical instead of the previously announced Grotesque Lovesongs, scheduled for June. Sherwood Schwartz, the original creator of the successful Gilligan's Island TV series, co-authored the book with his son and long-time collaborator Lloyd J. Schwartz, so audiences can be sure of a zany good time, complete with Gilligan fumbling any chance of a rescue! Throw in fun music and lyrics by Sherwood Schwartz's daughter and son-in-law, Hobe Juber and Laurence Juber (best known as a guitarist with Paul McCartney's group Wings), and the show is a natural for Rover Dramawerks and their "theatre off the beaten path" mission.
Artistic Director Carol M. Rice will helm the "tale of a fateful trip," with musical direction by Patsy Sadowski and choreography by Nancy Roberts. The show runs June 5 - 28 at the Cox Building Playhouse, 1517 H Avenue in historic downtown Plano, and auditions will be announced soon for early April.
Tickets for Gilligan’s Island: the Musical are $15.00 on Thursdays and matinee and $18.00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets may be ordered online or by calling 972-849-0358.

GWAR / Kingdom of Sorrow / Toxic Holocaust Only lead singer Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) has stuck around since GWAR's start 23 years ago, but the huge costumes, raunchy and obscene lyrics, and fluids spraying into the audience are sure to be on full display as the metal band makes its return to Dallas.
