GUYS ON ICE

A Musical Comedy by Fred Alley (Book and Lyrics) and James Kaplan (Music)

October 4, 2001 – December 22, 2001

Lloyd and Marvin keep warm in their ice shanty with a mutual appreciation for good bait, cold beer and the Packers. As Marvin anxiously awaits his opportunity to appear on a TV show, both pals scramble to protect their cold ones from Ernie the Moocher.

With musical numbers like “The Wishing Hole,” “Ode to a Snowmobile Suit,” “Fish is the Miracle Food” and “The One That Got Away,” Guys on Ice will give audiences the joys and adventures of ice fishing without freezing their socks off.
