"When the name of a musical is The Great American Trailer Park Musical, you know you're in for a bawdy comedy that will poke fun at and parody the low-class residents who live in a trailer park. The musical has an abundance of wit and plenty of adult humor, but it also has a quaint charm that, while it makes jokes at their expense, manages to make the characters entirely endearing. Fountain Hills Theater's production is an energetic, over-the-top comedy with a cast that seem to be having a ball bringing these hilarious characters to life. The show takes place in rural Florida's fictional Armadillo Acres trailer park and centers around its residents...David Nehls' score features some fun lyrics and a nice mix of comical numbers and ballads, but the songs are mostly forgettable. Betsy Kelso's book is fast paced and fun, with some poignant moments...Director Peter J. Hill does a great job of keeping the pace brisk, the laughter high, and the cast's performances fairly in check to not cross too far into broad caricatures. He also includes a lot of visual gags to add even more humor to the already funny book." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
