If you remember the old Andy Hardy movies with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, you will love the storyline and musical entertainment of this show! In keeping with the tradition of the movies from the 1930’s, this production takes place in a local barn. The show's director is having a fit because the production is going to open the next day and he thinks the cast isn’t ready. He argues with the actors and musicians and is still convinced that the show will be a disaster. After the director's antics, two young sisters, PENNY and SAMMY, are left to persuade two young actors, BIFF and MELODY, to remain in the show. They do this by conjuring up a GRANDE DAME of the theatre, a DIVA, a ghost from years ago, who takes them on a tour of the musical theatre from 1905 to 1955. During their journey, they are handed off to CARNIE BILL, also a ghost – a show business type from years ago. He escorts them through various eras in time where they encounter many legendary performers such as AL JOLSON, FANNY BRICE and MARIE DRESSLER. After a fabulous musical voyage through two world wars, they finish their travel in 1955 where the entire cast reassembles and sings “There’s No Business, Like Show Business”. We hope that you enjoy this nostalgic trip through musical time. |
