You are reading this right, an original new musical (book and lyrics) inspired by the story of the Hawkins Cheezie. It’s remarkable, it’s amazing and there is a reason (whether you are aware of it or not) that this delicous salty and ridiculously cheezie snack has become a symbol of national pride.

It’s our loving unofficial love letter to this country, to innovation and determination, and to that guiltily-delicious salty snack.

This is a new Canadian musical.
