Never was the theatre ruled more by collaboration than during Broadway's Golden Age when dynamic duos such as Kaufman and Hart, Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lindsay and Crouse fuelled the footlights. Now the marquee is lit up again by another deadly deuce, as two-time Tony winner, Stewart F. Lane, co-owner of Broadway's legendary Palace Theatre and famed Broadway columnist, Ward Morehouse III team up to write a comedy in the spirit of The Front Page and On the Twentieth Century.Legendary producer, Steve Gallop, suddenly down on his luck, is seduced by the charms of beautiful showbiz columnist, Randi Lester, who's betting she can improve Gallop's Broadway track record with a musical based on the life of Frank Sinatra. The idea attracts front page attention around the world; hundreds of Sinatra wannabes swamp Gallop's offices. Investors plead for a piece of the action. Not among the pleading masses is mobster Joey Fingers, whose family knew Frank, and who naturally expects to bankroll the entire show. Opening night, it looks like curtains for the whole cast until Joey gets an offer he can't refuse.
