Fargo meets The Music Man but without the blood or the trombones ...

It takes place in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota where it's the coldest day of the year and cantankerous bar owner, Gunner Johnson, wants to sell the business and move to Florida

Clara, his wife and former Winter Carnival Bunyan Queen, wants to stay

Bernice Lundstrom, the pretty waitress, wants to pursue a singing career

Her fiance, Kanute Gunderson, wants her to stay home

It's a battle of wills, and when a fast-talking salesman, Aarvid Gisselsen, promises to bring romance into their lives through the 'magic' of karaoke, all heck breaks loose!

The 15 original songs include ...

I'm a Walleye Woman in a Crappie Town
My Smorgasbord of Love
I Wanna go to the Mall of America
The Bunyan Yodel
Upside Down in my Pickup Truck
The Ice House Blues

"A hokey jokey karaoke crowd pleaser!" ~ Los Angeles Times

"A lot of laughs! A great time!" ~ Tom Barnard, KQRS

This is the script/libretto - the Score is available For Hire
