Music by Jason Anderson Book & Lyrics by Kyle McCoy
.
Martin Brody has just moved his family away from the dangerous New York City for a more relaxing life in the beach community of Amity Island. As their new Chief of Police, his mission to prove himself to the islanders becomes more difficult when a report of shark attacks start coming in. He orders the beaches to be closed but the greedy Mayor Vaughn wants them open as the Fourth of July is coming and Amity is a tourist town.
.
Martin gets the aide of Matt Hooper, a young and quirky shark scientist from the mainland, to try to catch the beast before it kills again. At last, he realizes that he has to turn to the town’s most rugged fisherman and shark hunter, Quint, if he is to stop the shark for good. But when he’s required to accompany Hooper and Quint on the boat, he realizes that he must finally get over his biggest fear: the water.

Jaws: The Musical was originally created as a children's show for the Rhinelander Children's Aid Society. It was performed in May 2009.
A year later, a group of friends and NYC performers astounded audiences with their own version. It was performed in at The Creek and the Cave in June 2010.
