A NEW MUSICALBY JORDAN PAUL CLARKE AND ALI JAMESDeep beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean lies a bustling, colourful world: a thriving salmon farm owned by Utopia Enterprises, the world’s largest (and most sinister) fishing corporation (cue terrifying music). This lively community of salmon lives under the watchful eye of SPIKE DI-CARPRIO, the stubborn, overprotective mayor whose strict rules are meant to keep everyone safe. But his rebellious teenage daughter, LEO DI-CARPRIO, is sick of life trapped inside the farm’s cramped confines and makes her discontent known to anyone who’ll listen. Her frustration has only grown since the loss of her mother, MERYL, who was recently “chosen to ascend to UTOPIA”, a supposedly peaceful paradise where the healthiest, strongest salmon are taken to live with the humans. Yet something about her mother’s absence feels deeply wrong, a suspicion Leo can’t quite shake.When one of Leo’s wild schemes leads to a catastrophic accident, the truth about their deadly fate is revealed: Utopia isn’t a sanctuary... it’s a slaughterhouse. In the ensuing panic, Leo teams up with her brainy little sister, FINN DI-CARPRIO, and rallies the desperate, terrified salmon for a daring escape through a crack in the farm’s walls and into the wild open seas.But freedom comes at a price. Furious and humiliated, the stylishly ruthless CEO of Utopia Enterprises, SHEILA MUSK (think Miranda Priestly meets Yzma with a dash of Popeye’s evil kid sister), deploys her army of eccentric scientists and ruthless fishermen to recapture her precious collection of salmon. Even worse, she’s using their escape as an opportunity to chart new territories for even more protein profits.On their epic journey across the ocean, Leo, Finn, and their ragtag band of escapees encounter a wild array of allies: THE CLAMDREWS SISTERS, a sassy doo-wop trio of singing shellfish; THE SWIPSTISCH BROTHERS, two honorable but rowdy Scottish swordfish; and a clan of feisty, disenfranchised SEALS who’ve had their own run-ins with Utopia’s cruelty.As Sheila’s forces close in, Leo must find the courage to lead her community to safety, heal her fractured family, and unite her bizarre band of new friends to take down the ruthless corporate machine threatening them all. It’s a tale of survival, friendship, and finding your voice… whether you’ve got fins, flippers, or shells.Angry Salmon is currently indevelopment, but you can hear some music and see some videos below.Stay tuned for more news!
