About the Production

Gilligan's Island:  The Musical is a family-friendly stage musical version of the ever popular and iconic  1960s TV comedy show "Gilligan's Island".  After their boat the SS Minnow is destroyed in a storm, the passengers are shipwrecked on a remote Pacific Island, where the seven castaways build huts and begin to explore their surroundings while trying to find a way to be rescued.

About the Characters

Cast: 8 Actors

 

Gilligan:  youthful, masculine-presenting.  The first mate of the SS Minnow, over-eager and prone to bumbling.

 

The Skipper:  middle-aged and paunchy, masculine-presenting.  The Captain of the SS Minnow is constantly frustrated with the naive Gilligan but also protective of his crewman. 

 

The Professor:  early 40s-late 50s, masculine-presenting.  A high school teacher with numerous scientific degrees, the Professor can invent or repair something out of nothing and offers logical but not-always-correct answers to every problem or discovery.  

Thurston Howell:  60ish, masculine-presenting.  An overbearing and pretentiously wealthy businessman who uses his perceived social status to avoid actual work. 

Lovey Howell:  50s to 60s, feminine-presenting.  Spoiled society wife of Thurston, she adjusts much easier than he does to a castaway life. 

Ginger:  30s to 40s, feminine-presenting.  A lovely, sexy Hollywood movie star who uses tricks from her movies to try to solve problems on the island, which usually gets her into trouble.

 

Mary Ann:  late teens to mid-20s, feminine-presenting.  A farm-raised "girl next door" ingenue, Mary Ann usually ends up doing most of the cooking and laundry on the island and develops a crush on Gilligan. 

 

Alien:  any age, any gender but must sing in the posted range.  An interplanetary visitor with dire predictions for the castaways and Earth in general,
