Opa! The Musical is a romantic comedy set on the tiny Greek island of Elia - a place where time stands still. Sophia and Manos dream of bigger lives off the island, but Costa is quite content to stay on the island of his birth and continue with his simple, olive-filled life. After it's announced that the island will be dumped from the ferry routes until the economy "levels out", these characters make some desperate choices which will alter the courses of their lives forever. When a boat finally arrives on the island - 20 years later - some of the villagers' long-held secrets come to the forefront, and they are left with only one choice....to face their hidden selves, celebrate life and just say OPA!
