Posted: 7/3/12 at 10:46amI can't find any summaries anywhere online and missing this show is one of my biggest theater-going regrets. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a thorough plot summary! And has anyone heard anything else about a potential Broadway run?

Posted: 7/3/12 at 11:09amThere are two people. The a woman comes on. It's Vera Stark. One person knows her, one doesn't. Introductions are made. The end.

The Overture is part of the show, people. Please shut your pie hole.

The plot summary on the blog above is pretty detailed, but at first glance, it seems to be missing the big reveal in the closing moments of the play, which is that Gloria and Vera are actually cousins and that Gloria has been "passing" her entire career.
In terms of a Broadway run, Robyn Goodman is attached commercially to the forthcoming production at the Geffen Playhouse in LA this fall (which Jo Bonney is directing again.) I've heard Lynn Nottage is going to continue working on the play there, and if it's received well, they're hoping it could transfer to Broadway in the spring.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

^ I'm sorry but did you read the title of this thread?
I would love for this show to transfer to Broadway eventually. The second act needs a lot of work.
