You'll love this buoyant island musical comedy with its swift action, treasure chest of jokes and plot that moves like a hurricane. Cordelia Hawkins and her kids must do something to earn money on storm-devastated Kokonut Island. They decide to open Kokonut High, a private institution of higher learning that promises a degree for every student.. for a hefty tuition fee. Along with the handful of future snorklin' scholars that show up, a crime syndicate also lands on the island and wants to take it over. Adding another layer of laughter, the ghost of Cap'n Kidd appears, but only Swampy, a strange island inhabitant, can see him. Swampy must listen to the anger of the Cap'n who sings a rousing show-stopper warning all to get off his island! You'll recognize Tim Kelly's zany set of characters wandering about the island - happy-go-lucky students, fuming parents, and long-lost guests. When an accreditation team from stateside shows up insisting to meet the faculty (that doesn't exist!), this madcap musical really is thrown overboard. Not only is this show one of Tim's classic comedies, but it also boasts a wide variety of catchy Francoeur tunes, with savoury flavourings of salsa, Latin, Jamaican and even an hilarious Hawaiian number. See Demo CD L or Tape 15 for a sample of this musical.
