Here's a fresh musical about the king of musicals, Cole Porter, that cleverly puts together most of Cole's hit tunes with a narration which tells the story of his life, from Yale to Paris to Manhattan to Broadway to Hollywood - and, ultimately, back once again to Braodway. Includes such Porter standards as, "I Love Paris", "Take Me Back to Manhattan", "Love For Sale", "Night and Day", and "I Get a Kick Out of You".

This backstage farce features an acting couple who are on tour in Buffalo in 1953. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte Hay appear or run off with their agent? Will George Hay be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives, or a disturbing mixture of the two?

A hilarious send-up of show business and it's often bizarre practitioners, which uses the occasion of a disastrous opening night party to pile one wildly funny comic sequence upon another. It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway and the wealthy producer is throwing a lavish party in her lavish townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs where a group of insiders have staked themselves out in the producer's bedroom waiting for the reviews to come in. As the reviews arrive, all bad, the assembled group seeks desperately to pin the blame on one another.

Overflowing with mirth, this Broadway whodunit is exciting from beginning to end. An advertising man, who has brought his bride to the boss's mountain lodge for a honeymoon, calls in the local police to investigate her sudden disappearance. Enter a pretty young girl who insists, over his protests, that she is the missing wife. A priest backs up her story. A funny little man who owns a delicatessen enters and before you know it, there are two murders at the isolated lodge.
