The Great American Melodrama & Vaudeville

On our way from the RV park to the beaches, we always pass by an interesting-looking building. We looked it up last night, and it's the building for The Great American Melodrama & Vaudeville. Since it was projected to rain today, we decided to book a ticket for their 6pm show of A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court (based on Mark Twain novel of the same name) tonight.

Boy, what a treat! It was super fun and funny. The synopsis of the play from their website reads
After a bump on the head, Hank Morgan awakens to find himself in the days of Camelot. Because of his knowledge of modern technology everyone is convinced that he’s a magician. Soon King Arthur puts him in charge of industrializing the kingdom. It’s a madcap adventure with knights in shining armor and damsels in distress. Don’t miss this world premiere adaptation of an American classic.


The entire show was energetic and Vince and I laughed throughout.

After the two-act play, there was a elementary-school-kids-themed vaudeville revue. The songs were awesome and the satires pertinent.


We fully enjoyed ourselves. 😊
