'Trailer Park Musical' returns to Hippodrome's main stage

The Hippodrome State Theatre's most successful show is returning to the Mainstage after a three-year hiatus.

Attracting an audience of 21,000 in 2006, "The Great American Trailer Park Musical," opens Friday at 8 p.m.

"The show is better than ever," said Jessica Thompson, director of marketing at the Hippodrome.

Based on a fictional trailer park in Starke named Armadillo Acres, the musical takes the audience through a whirlwind of problems beginning with the arrival of Pippi, a runaway stripper who has an affair with one of the residents. With three members from the original cast returning for the show, Mark Chambers, Catherine Fries Vaughn and Kelly Atkins, the show is expected to be a huge hit once again, Thompson said.

"It has a big beginning and a big ending," Thompson said. "People will love it."

The show will run every day of the week, except Mondays, until July 12.

Tickets range from $25 to $30 for general audience members, $20 for seniors and $12 for college students with a valid ID. Starke residents can purchase $12 tickets with proof of residency.
