Combine the greatest show tunes of George M.  Cohan with a sparkling story and you have the most entertaining, charming, toe-tapping musical of the season.  Dick Foster is opening a Broadway show but is having problems with both money and his leading lady.  Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress from New Rochelle, plus "Legs" Ruby, a Damon Runyon-type bookie who is on the run from the mob.  Just as all appears lost, a financial "angel" appears with the money to do the show, and Mary gets her big chance at stardom.  The play is filled with fascinating character roles, including the "Donald O'Connor-type" pianist, Betty, the Virginia belle in the chorus, along with a bevy of chorus girls, gangsters and other assorted characters.  The set, (mostly on an empty stage) is a snap.  The Cohan songs are among his most memorable:  "Give My Regards To Broadway," "You're A Grand Old Flag," "Mary's A Grand Old Name" and many more.  And the cast is completely flexible with room for an additional chorus of any size, plus optional choreography if desired.  Here's a show in the true tradition of "42nd Street" and the great Broadway musicals — an audience pleaser for sure.
