Checked Out: The Musical

Check in, deal with angry customers. Check out, repeat again tomorrow. Connell and Lee, the team behind Green Room Association Award-nominated musical A Zoom Group Project have joined forces again to create this brand-new supermarket musical comedy premiering at Fringe. This time they use their years of retail experience as creative fuel because nothing makes a story sing like hating your job does.

In Checked Out: The Musical a group of employees are sick of their mundane lives working for supermarket chain Woles, who pay them minimum wage despite recent record profits. What’s the manager’s solution to staff complaints? Throwing a party to celebrate the company’s profits and making attendance mandatory.

Watch this group of unlikely comrades band together to unite against the epitome of capitalism: their workplace. Will they succeed? Probably not. Will they quit in search of better employment? Unlikely. Expect catchy tunes about mops and searching for something beyond the aisles.
