I saw Trailer Park last night and found it to be loads of fun. I agree with most poster that the talent is top-notch, but I must admit the story worked just fine and the tempo and pacing were on the money. One question: The show was performed without an intermission (which didn’t bother me at all). Is this how it started or is this an adjustment made in previews? If so, curious to hear thought from people who saw the show with the break and how they think this might affect the overall pace.

I saw the second preview (very so-so) and saw it again last Saturday. I am sure I did not catch all of the changes, but the show works sooooo much better without the break. The story may be slight, but it sure is funny. The songs rock and Orfeh is a huge talent.

Has anyone seen this listed anywhere on the papering sites??? I got a discount but I sure miss the freebies. *sigh*

It's on the Gold Club (Thetermania's papering services) all the time.

I saw an early preview (they had an intermission then) and am going again over the weekend.

The show was much, much better with an intermission. The creative team had the show PERFECT about a day before they combined the two acts. Then they had to do away with some clever bits in the book and rearrange the songs. But trust me- as someone who has watched this show evolve through its preview period, they've crossed the line where the changes that they're making to the show are doing more harm than good.

We went to see the show last Saturday Night~ We had a blast and I agree the cast is extremely talented. Loved the songs and the story line was hilarious! My sister and Mom enjoyed it just as much as I did~

I dont understand why they're STILL making changes to this show. I saw it in it's 2nd week of previews and it was amazing. I was laughing so hard my face hurt. Everyone at intermission were singing it's praises. Maybe Im missing something, but I really dont think it needs all this tweeking. Too many chefs there stirring the pot.

This is by far one of the funniest things Ive seen in years.
It worked fine with an intermission. We needed to catch our breaths after "Storms a Brewin" anyway. Just leave it alone already.

Saw yesterday's matinee. It worked MUCH BETTER with an intermission, although it's still very funny. Also, I really miss "Immobile in my Mobile Home". It was much better than the current song, "One Step Closer", and was such a sublime showcase for Kaitlin Hopkins. I still highly recommend it for a good time at the theatre.
