Set in the YVR baggage claim, Carry On: The Musical examines the convergent lives of weary wanderers and the baggage they carry. From love-drunk newlyweds to devoted YVR staffers, the show’s colourful cast are all desperately seeking one thing - to move their lives onwards and upwards! Well, that and to finally get their bags. Having won SMACKDOWN: the 24 hour musical theatre competition here in Vancouver last year, this new musical has now been developed and expanded to create a high-flying addition to this year’s Fringe.
