Idaho is A bawdy, original, laugh-out-loud musical comedy that pays homage to Broadway's Golden Age classics
Tater country is turned spud-side-up in Idaho when a mail order bride comes to town and falls in love with the wrong man. Born (out of wedlock) from the golden age of musical comedy comes a new love story, a twisted tale of wife stealin', spud peelin' and double dealin' at a time when men were men and Aunt Pearlie carried the shotgun.
Is Idaho a take-off of the musical Oklahoma?
Idaho is a totally original musical but does pay nod to the golden-age of Broadway and of course Rogers and Hammerstein musicals. The show makes a lot of jokes at the theatre's expense, but at the root of it, Idaho is a love letter to the great musicals, the great composers and anyone else who ever did a hitch kick, belted a high C, painted a flat, manned a dimmer board, sewed a bustle or anything else that helped to bring a big, lusty, story-driven musical to the stage.
