Carry On: A Musical

“Everyone has baggage.”

Set in the YVR baggage claim, CARRY ON: A MUSICAL examines the convergent lives of weary wanderers and the baggage they bring with them. Stuck in luggage limbo, the colourful cast of this comedic romp are all desperately seeking one thing – to move their lives onwards and upwards! Well, that and to finally get their bags.

  • “When Deborah Vogt and her team in Smackdown 2015 (a 24-hour musical theatre competition) picked “YVR Baggage Claim” out of a hat last year, the brainwave was immediate… Thus, Carry On: A Musical was born, in which the audience gets to examine the type of people we encounter in baggage claim areas; their physical and emotional baggage."

  • “Carry On is a new original Vancouver grown musical.  It was first conceived of at Smackdown: The 24-hour musical competition in 2015, winning the top prize which included development support to expand it to its current 90 minute one-act production.  Featuring a diverse cast of 12 local musical theatre talents, this funny energetic musical has something for every traveler.”
