For 20 years, Erin Brennan has been at the helm of various productions, bringing stories to life on stage. This year, they're excited to present "Going Troppo," a lively and humorous musical set on a tropical island, all to the beat of iconic 80s music. The storyline follows a group of vacationers as they embark on a hilarious journey, experiencing the highs and lows of island life. Brennan emphasises that the show is not just about entertainment but also about providing an escape for the audience, a chance to forget their worries and immerse themselves in a world of laughter and music.
However, bringing this vibrant show to life hasn’t been without its challenges. With the flu season affecting many, finding cast and crew members who are well enough to participate has been tough. Despite this, the team remains resilient and dedicated. Collaboration has been key, with Brennan bouncing ideas off the cast, tailoring the show to their unique talents and comfort levels. "If they don’t want to do it, that’s fine," says Brennan, highlighting the supportive environment they've fostered.
Interestingly, "Going Troppo" was originally written by Brennan in 2010, but with a different choir lineup today, the script has undergone significant changes. One of the show’s most memorable moments is the "granny scene," a part that promises to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
The musical’s opening is a spectacle in and of itself, with a colourful and energetic start as the cast meanders onto the stage. From those performing to those working behind the scenes, everyone has a role that brings them joy. Whether it’s singing, working in the kitchen, or managing the doors, each person contributes to the overall experience, with the shared goal of having fun.
Ultimately, Brennan hopes that everyone who attends will leave with a smile on their face, having enjoyed an evening of nostalgia, laughter, and the pure joy that only a musical like "Going Troppo" can bring.
