Based on "The Oregon Trail" video game, this interactive musical comedy follows a family on an unexpectedly dangerous family trip to Oregon in 1848. The party encounters various dangers like the Great Columbia River (the most dangerous river in the world), dysentery, and the mysterious outlaw The Bandit King—but the ultimate decider of the family's fate is the audience, who also names each of them at the start of the show.
