The Great American Trailer Park Musical

Florida's most exclusive “mobile home community” is a long way from the glamour of the Festival City. While The Great American Trailer Park Musical draws heavily on a subculture that most Europeans will only have caught on bad daytime TV, there's more than enough familiarity here to suck us into their colourful world of spray cheese, marker pen sniffing, strippers, light beer and mullets. Come to think of it, it's perfectly likely you'll encounter all five on a night out in Glasgow.

Let's be clear here: Trailer Park is a extremely silly show. The storyline is contrived and ridiculous and the musical numbers veer from gloriously choreographed masterpieces to completely out-of-place heartbreakers. Such gaping flaws, however, only exist as a minor distraction from a raucously entertaining musical.

Put simply, the cast are uniformly impeccable in their delivery of both the elaborate songs and some truly hilarious comic moments. The standout characters here are the epitomes of white trash—Betty, Pickles and Lin(oleum)—who act as our frankly adorable narrators and chorus, providing the show with some of its most powerful comedic punches.

Trailer Park won't win any awards for outstanding writing, but this shouldn't stop you from picking up a ticket before it inevitably sells out. With performers as talented and charismatic as this, it's worth dumbing down with the trailer trash for an hour and a half. You'll feel right at home.
