Yeah, that headline doesn't sound quite right does it? To quote George Constanza, "Worlds are colliding!"
Gilligan's Island: The Musical is a stage play that brings the TV classic to the theater. They'll be performing the show at the Coral Springs Center For The Arts in Coral Springs, FL, February 2-11. The role of millionaire Thurston Howell III will be played by Barry Williams, who played Greg Brady on The Brady Bunch, another Sherwood Schwartz show. And to make matters even more confusing, Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, will not reprise her role. Instead, she'll play Mrs. Howell!
This just isn't right. What if they mix up the theme songs? "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...here's the story! Of a man named Skipper!"
They should have other classic TV stars play the other roles. How about Ann B. Davis as Ginger?
