Have you ever felt like the North Saskatchewan river was too gross? Well, believe it or not, it could get way worse…

In a future world where the air is sponsored, the Oilers still can’t win a game, and the pollution of the river has caused the next generation to mutate into lizard children, this amazingly entertaining comedy musical by Grindstone Theatre follows a teenaged lizard-boy named Harry as he travels back in time on a lifeguard chair to meet his father, a sea-doo riding bad boy named Razor. Mistakes and obstacles occur, and Harry has to fight to not disappear from existence, save his parents’ relationship, and “surf-vive” to see the rest of his life.

With only four cast members, they somehow managed to create a fully imagined world, with a feeling there was more space on the small stage, and more people in the ensemble supporting them. The vocals and harmonies were great, backed up by their wonderful live band, working in sync with the actors’ voices. Any mishaps were expertly covered by the actors and their lightning fast improvisational skills, making the show somehow even more entertaining.

With never ending comedy, infinite dirty jokes, and every single reference to Edmonton you could ever possibly think of, this show was snappingly funny from start to finish, the audience leaving for the night with sore faces from their laughter.
