SYNOPSIS

Cult hit, Moby Dick! The Musical, is a giant over-the-top retelling of the classic novel. Originally produced by the legendary Cameron Mackintosh, this audience favorite played the West End in 1992. This goofy romp does to Herman Melville what The Rocky Horror Show does to midnight horror movies!

The girls of St. Godley's School are in trouble! Money for the school has run out, and the place will have to close. Leave it to these resourceful girls and their unflappable headmistress (played by a man in drag), to come up with a plan to keep the school afloat. Using whatever they can find at hand, the girls mount an original production as a fundraiser: a musical version of Moby Dick, featuring their headmistress in the coveted role of Captain Ahab.

What They're Saying

"Every single cast member is talented, and spot on in character the entire night - be it their school student character or their Moby Dick character in the play within a play, or their falling into and out of those characters but never really being their real-world actor person self - that was remarkably well done"

"Insane"..."Ridiculously funny"..."Outrageously funny"..."Immensely funny"

Moby Dick is a “whale of a show.”

ANN ARBOR, MI–When my editor asked me to review a production of a musical version of the 1851 classic novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville, I could not believe that someone actually penned music to the classic, if snoozy, revenge tale. I was skeptical, but curious. Extra curious when I was handed a program with 3D glasses inside.

...

But this isn’t just the classic Melville tale set to music. Oh no. The twist is this is a struggling Catholic girls school, St. Godley’s Academy for Girls, run by Headmistress Trunk’Ortreatia Glydenbollocks played by Dalton Cahill. They need to raise money or else the school is going to close. Student Fifi Clapwell played by Kylie McElrath tells the headmistress that she just finished her own interpretation of Moby Dick as a musical. So, this is a play within a play: The school girls and some staff all assume roles as the seafaring male sailors. The Headmistress, played by a male playing the female, takes on the role of the lead male, Ahab.
