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.
