A musical comedy about the mundane lives of supermarket workers in a cost of living crisis.
Check in deal with angry customers. Check out repeat again tomorrow. Connell and Lee the team behind GRAA-nominated musical ‘A Zoom Group Project’ have joined forces again to create this brand-new supermarket musical comedy premiering at Melbourne Fringe 2025. This time they are using 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 big supermarket chain Woles who still pay them minimum wage despite its 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 of course! 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? Also unlikely. But can you expect catchy tunes about mops and searching for something beyond the aisles? Absolutely!
