Saddle up for a chaotic, laugh-out-loud adventure with The Trail to Oregon!, StarKid’s wildly inventive musical inspired by the classic computer game. The story follows a determined yet dysfunctional family on a perilous journey west as they encounter bandits, oxen mishaps, and the ever-looming threat of dysentery. Packed with standout songs like “Wagon on Fire,” and “Dysentery World,” the show blends absurd comedy with surprisingly heartfelt moments of family and perseverance. Don’t miss this hilariously unpredictable ride you won’t forget!
