In 1923, Princess steamships started bringing tourists to Skagway. The local residents decided to put on a show for them to raise money for their local hockey team. The team needed new uniforms so that they could compete in the White Pass Athletic League against their rival team in Whitehorse, Yukon. The show became an instant tradition and has been running ever since. The show is centered around the tale of Soapy Smith, Alaska's most notorious outlaw. Soapy reigned over Skagway during the wildest days of the Klondike Gold Rush, and this colorful vaudevillian musical recounts his incredible story. The show features can-can dancers, ragtime music, riotous humor, and the great conman himself, Soapy Smith! The people that put this show on are pros, and it is definitely the most well-done production in town. Well worth it, especially if you're in the mood for some old time vaudeville, and hearty belly laughs.
Adult ticket prices are $20 for daytime shows and $22 for night shows. Tax not included. Children 12 and under are admitted for half price. Local Tip: Unless you don't mind being a part of the show, don't sit in the front row, or you may end up being a participant on stage!
