By Ernio Hernandez
10 Jan 2008

The Great American Trailer Park Musical hits the road Jan. 10 as the national tour begins at Spokane, Washington's Bing Crosby Theater.

Steven Smeltzer directs and choreographer the new production, which will play numerous venues across the country. Corrine Aquilina serves as music director.

Following a premiere at the New York Musical Theater Festival, the work played a 2005 Off-Broadway run at Dodger Stages.

The ensemble cast includes Dane Agostinis (as Duke), Doreen Barnard (Betty), Lindsay Devino (Pickles), David Howard (Norbert), Erica Livingston (Jeannie), MaryAnne Piccolo (Lin), and Sara Ruzicka (Pippi). Kenneth D'Elia and Carolyn Kimmel are the swings.
