Shuler Hensely (Oklahoma) led the cast of The Great American Trailer Park Musical through an open rehearsal on Aug. 3, in anticipation of its forthcoming opening night at Dodger Stages.

The new musical, a popular selection at last year’s New York Musical Theater Festival, describes itself as the story of "an agoraphobic housewife who must tear herself away from Dr. Phil long enough to leave her trailer and save her marriage."

At left, book writer and director Betsy Kelso, choreographer Patti Colombo and composer-lyricist David Nehls are seen at the rehearsal. Below, the cast works their way through a number from The Great American Trailer Park Musical at Dodger Stages on West 50th Street in New York City.

Opening night is set for Aug. 20.
