Mark and I went to a classy little show in a quaint little theater. The Belleview Little Theaters production of The Great American Trailer Park Musical. It was kind of awesome. Imagine Desperate Housewives if it took place in... as the name implies... a trailer park.
This is not a family show. Which really didn't matter because I rarely see kids at these type of things anyway. Mark's friend had a feature role as Lin (short for Linoleum... becauase she was born on the kitchen floor). Lin has an obsession with keeping on the lights on in the trailer park. Because as long as she does the state penn can't fire up Old Smoky and fry Lin's husband. Good times...
The main story revolves about Jeannie and her husband Norbert. Jeannie hasn't left her trailer in 20 years since the kidnapping of her son. Pippi, a stripper on the run form her ex, moves in next door. The shit hits the fan when NAME HERE starts up an affair with Pippi. As Jeannie is trying to overcome her agoraphobia to leave the trailer in time for their anniversary only to be set back at the revelation of her husband's affair.
There are a TON of hilarious songs and this is just one of them. The girl we went to see is in pink with the bow in her hair. Overall it is a GREAT show. And how can you not love a show that has songs like this?
