A little more than 25 years ago, the Passamaquoddy Designers (Quoddesigners) came out with a new attraction.  It opened along with and was located near the “Come Unicorn” attraction.  Of course, I’m talking about the “Kickin’ Krabaret”.  This was a whimsical look at our second favorite crustaceon.  (We honored our favorite with the “Rockin’ Lobster Coaster”)

The Kickin Krabaret was a fifteen minute stage production that was performed in side a small theatre that could hold three (or one comfortably).  The lights would dim and the audience would get introduced to “Sandy Crabs”, a homemaker who cooks up a heck of a crab feast.  But before eating the crabs up she makes them sing a song or two.  Sort of a reverse “sing for your supper”.

Songs included:

• the “Boogie Woogie Beluga Boy” sung by the Andrew Sisters-like trio “Canned Tuna Sisters”…
• A vaudeville act performed by Clam and Eggs (who insisted on being called “Caviar”)
• “Wedgie Wedgie” “Brute Brute” is a song performed by feuding gangs a la West Side Story, the Sharks and the Nets…

Then Sandy Crabs finishes off with the entire cast returning to sing the finale.

The attraction closed a few years later to be replaced by “Coral Rocks” – which in itself fell into the sea when a helicopter knocked into it while filming “Soarin’ over Passamaquoddy”.

But while it lasted, kids loved the attraction, especially the many animatronic crabs performing period music,  And the songs were catchy too, many of them still are heard on KWDY.
