Kick At The Dark Theatre Co-operative presents...
Giant Killer Shark: The Musical
A Sing-A-Long Livestream
Once there was a show. A great show. A big, fun, silly show.
A show called Giant Killer Shark: The Musical.
It played at the Halifax Fringe last fall for 4 performances. It was named Fringe Hit. It had audiences laughing, dancing, and singing along. It was blowing up. Some say it was on track to be the best show since Hamlet, and would probably have beaten Hamlet at being theatre.
Then a hurricane happened. The festival was cancelled. No one else got to see the show.
Until now.
In an age of pandemic, Kick At The Dark Theatre is happy to invite you back to a simpler time, when the only thing to be afraid of... was having your face bitten off by a shark.
For one night only, we present a live-stream of our archival recording of the show you probably didn't get to see, now updated in SING-O-VISION!
Sing along to your favourite songs! Join in the dance! Confuse your neighbours!
About the show...
When a giant killer shark unleashes chaos on a copyright-protected beach community, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down. Stuffed with 15 original songs, and performed by a cast of three women, this hilarious parody of a certain 1975 blockbuster will have hearts racing, jaws clenched, and funnybones tickled!
