Exclusive: THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL to Receive London Premiere  Image

BroadwayWorld can exclusively confirm that the hit Off-Broadway show THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL will officially receive its London premiere later this spring. The production will run 11th May to 5th June 2016 with Press Night on May 17th at Waterloo East Theatre Brad Street London.

There's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres - and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run, arrives and comes between the Dr. Phil-loving agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth-collector husband Norbert. - the storms begin to brew!

The Great American Trailer Park Musical with music and lyrics by David Nehls and book by Betsy Kelso, is a musical comic fable exploring the relationships between the tenants at the exclusive Armadillo Acres Trailer Park in Florida.

"A delicious new musical. The joint is jammed and jumping with raucous laughter. It's like The Honeymooners meets The Best Little Whorehouse in Urinetown." - NY Post

"Joyful and unashamedly vulgar, Betsy Kelso's comic fable about women in a Florida trailer park and their no-account men is more fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music." - The New Yorker.

The show premiered at the first annual New York Music Theatre Festival in 2004 and transferred to The Dodger Stages off-Broadway in 2005, it has since played throughout the USA, Australia and Europe. This will be its British cast Premier.

Following the recent success of Garry Lake's production of Jest End at Waterloo East Theatre, the collaboration is set to continue by presenting the British cast premier of the hit off Broadway show The Great American Trailer Park Musical, by David Nehls and Betsy Kelso.

Presented by Garry Lake & Waterloo East Theatre by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED.
