It’s 1955 and Sally, a waitress at Cookie’s Diner, loves her town of Winona, Arizona, especially now that it’s a stop on the famous Route 66. She also loves to follow the glamorous lives of the movie stars in her favorite tabloid, Screen Scene Magazine.
Sally is especially excited today. Not only is she sure her longtime beau, Roscoe, is finally going to propose, but it’s also the day that movie star Lovey Lamour is marrying crooner Johnny Jerome. What a surprise when the next customer at the diner turns out to be Lovey herself, who has fled her wedding and needs a place to hide! Sally is sure she can help Lovey keep her identity a secret by helping her pose as a waitress. She teaches the Hollywood star the ”Diner Lingo” she needs to know, but their entire scheme threatens to unravel when a nosy tabloid photographer discovers Lovey’s identity (”I Found Her!”) and tips off Johnny as to her location.
This 1950s musical is packed with fun, entertaining tunes that feature your actors’ voices as well as a chorus of customers and all the hilarious characters — a short-tempered cook, Sally’s geeky boyfriend (who doesn’t propose — he’s ”Moving to Chicago!”), an ever-hungry customer who has everyone limbo dancing, the world’s worst auto mechanic, and even ”Travelin’ Man” Elvis Presley before he was famous!
