After Daughter fails to hit small game, Grandpa hands the gun over the Son and tells his outlandish story about his war against the “lobsters” in 1812 - he claims to have banished the lobsters to the sea, for which the lobsters retaliated by stealing the only million-dollar bill in the world, as it had Grandpa's face on it. When the wagon breaks and the family discovers Son ate the food reserves, Mother sends Daughter, Son, and Grandpa to go hunting. They finally begin their journey, and while the rest of the family complain, Father enjoys the fun of the family road trip (" The Grind").
In the meantime, the general store manager has swindled Father into purchasing a wagon in terrible condition for an outrageous price, along with a deformed ox.
Mother arrives and scares McDoon away, much to the dismay of Daughter. Upon hearing his name, Cletus appears and inadvertently reveals McDoon is the Bandit King. As they flirt, he warns her about the famous outlaws The Bandit King and Cletus Jones. They decide to go down to the general store to buy only bullets (their reasoning being that as a family of farmers, they don't need any food).ĭaughter is approached by a stranger named McDoon. The journey begins in Independence, Missouri, and the family walks through the town, receiving honest but depressing advice from the townspeople (" Independence!"). Father tries to convince the kids that the journey to Oregon will be fun and educational, while Mother passive-aggressively points out that Father burned down their farm. In the filmed show on YouTube the father is named Jack Bauer, the mother is named Slippery When Wet, the grandpa is named Titty Mitty, the son is named Craphole and the daughter is named Mouthface. Father leads the audience in choosing the name of each character. The show begins with the father greeting the audience and introducing his wife, teenage daughter, seven-year-old son, and father-in-law (known as grandpa). It is also the most historically accurate musical portraying the Oregon Trail to date featuring 12 educational songs, a set precisely replicating the trail’s landscape, and appearances from famous historical figures, such as: Henry McDoon, Cletus Jones, and Cornwallis. The Trail to Oregon! is an original musical produced by Starkid Productions and was performed in Chicago in the summer of 2014.
