At Federal Way High School Theatre, a musical comedy unfolds when an avid theatre fan plays his favorite cast recording and the show springs to life around him. Honored with five Tony Awards, including recognition for its book and original score, this affectionate take on Golden Age style rolls out one lively song and dance number after another. The setup centers on a man in a chair who cues up the album of a fictional 1928 musical, unleashing a whirlwind of characters... an engaged couple on the verge of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate producer, a cheerful yet scatterbrained hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and a chaperone with a fondness for drink. A playful meta-musical at heart, it gently pokes fun at the familiar tropes of the genre while celebrating musical theatre itself.
