playbill ^ | 26 Feb 2009 | By Andrew Gans

Posted on 02/26/2009 1:11:30 PM PST by JoeProBono

The national tour of Gilligan's Island: The Musical, based on the classic television sitcom of the same name, will arrive at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL, March 4 at 1 PM.

"Beginning with the #1 TV theme song of all time," press notes for the new musical state, "Gilligan, The Skipper, Mary Ann, Ginger, The Professor, and The Millionaire and his wife are shipwrecked and trying to get off the island. Natural disasters befall them, hurricanes, quicksand, etc., as they learn to get along and survive. Their biggest challenge comes from the U.F.O. and its Alien, who monitors their behavior. By the end of the play, the castaways manage to defeat the extraterrestrial and save the entire planet, while staying marooned themselves."

Gilligan & The Seven Deadly Sins

I found this on MIT's website. They're the college for smart people. And this is what they do with their spare time. The next time you call somebody stupid, think about that. The seven deadly sins are: Pride, Envy, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony and Anger. The cast of Gilligan's Island represents these sins.

The Professor
He is pride. Any man who can make that much crap on a deserted island probably should be concieted, but that doesn't make it okay. He never could fix that damn boat.

Maryann
She is envy. She tried to be as slutty as she could be, but everyone knows that Ginger was the most popular one there. However, a nationwide survey of college students a few years ago revealed that Mary Ann was voted the most likely to have 'done it' on the island.

Ginger
She is lust. If you watch the show very carefully, it's pretty obvious that she was going after the Professor AND Gilligan. What a whore.

The Millionare
Not to be too obvious, but he is greed. What kind of person takes a trunk full of money on a three-hour cruise? Definately the most obvious sinner.

The Millionare's Wife
She is sloth. Can anybody honestly name one damned thing she did for anyone while they were on the island. Honestly!!?? What a waste of space.

The Skipper
He is anger AND gluttony. How evil. The skipper is not only the fatest guy there, but he can't go five minutes without hitting Gilligan over the head with his hat. He deserves double sinnage if anyone does.

Gilligan
One person is left, and we have no more sins. That's because Gilligan is the devil. Who keeps them on the damned island for eternity? The devil. The island is named for him. Definately Satan. Think about it.

Somehow....I’m laughing pretty good at that! I could see Bawny Frankfurter always trying to get Gilligan to pick up the soap!

I hated Gilligan’s Island even as a kid. They could make all kinds of contraptions but they couldn’t fix a hole in the boat!

Didn’t Gilligan eventually set fire to something that sent up a giant smoke signal that got them saved? I think it was in one of the movies.

Well he DID use nautical references that he’d be hard pressed to explain in his “autobiography”.
