Extra Information

  • Notes: 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 to come up with a plan to keep the school afloat. Using whatever they can find at hand, the girls mount an original production: a musical version of Moby Dick, featuring their headmistress in the coveted role of Captain Ahab.A cult-favorite in London in the 1990s, Moby Dick! The Musical has been re-conceived. As Melville rolls in his grave, our spirited girls run roughshod over the classic as they carry on with their presentation. Warning: this is NOT your ordinary musical version of Moby Dick! What The Rocky Horror Show does to late night horror movies, Moby Dick! The Musical does to Herman Melville!As the girls perform their adaptation of the classic novel, they come to have an appreciation of education and camaraderie – NOT! Filled with double and triple entendre, and more goofy humor than you can imagine, the St. Godley School presentation of Moby Dick! The Musical is guaranteed to make your audiences laugh in spite of themselves.
