| Music by Greg Morrison Lyrics by Lisa Lambert Book by Bob Martin, Don McKellar "Created by award-winning Second City authors, this soph-twist-icated musical was the sleeper hit of the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival. "Outrageous humor! Openly affectionate and uproariously funny!" - Variety. A pampered Broadway starlet chooses marriage over show business. Her producer, desperate to save his career and re-pay gangster investors, sets out to sabotage the nuptials. Ruses are played, hi-jinks occur, and just before the plot spins completely out of control...everyone zeppelins down to Rio for a happy ending. This classic (albeit fictional) 1920's musical is narrated with sinister enthusiasm by a tweedy musical theatre fanatic who stops throughout to praise or mock certain scenes and to provide lurid details about the performers' sad real lives. A full production at Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre was lauded by critics as "the best thing to happen to musical theatre in recent memory."
