FAIR OAKS, CA (MPG) - Gilligan’s Island: The Musical is a family-friendly stage musical version of the ever popular and iconic 60’s TV comedy show, Gilligan’s Island. Shipwrecked on a remote Pacific Island, the seven castaways discover strange hieroglyphics in a spooky cave, which speak of an ancient legend.

The weather gets rough, Gilligan played by Danny Beldi foils the best-laid of the castaway’s rescue plans… romance develops between the professor played by David Guria Jr. and Ginger played by Analise Langford… the castaways including Thurston and Lovey played by Joe Hart and Chris Cay Steward, Mary Ann played Ashley Jeffers and of course the Skipper played by Jay Evans… all have an out-of-this-world encounter… it’s fun, wacky and entertaining with original, tuneful and memorable songs.

Directed by Michael Coleman. Choreographer is Natalie Quilici. Vocal Direction by Tracy Martin Shearer. Musical Director is Kirt Shearer. Words & Music: Hope and Laurence Juber, book by Sherwood Schwartz and Lloyd J Schwartz, based on the TV show “Gilligan’s Island” created by Sherwood Schwartz
