Set in a high school in Heartsville, USA, the show is billed as "musical fairy tale," focusing on two teen-age same-sex couples, Mike and Steve, and Kate and Roberta. Steve is the star quarterback and Mike is captain of the chess team; Roberta has just been dumped but hooks up with Kate, star of the mechanical bull-riding team.
It's Spring and just in time for a light-hearted, knee slappin', toe tappin' romp back to the Roaring Twenties. With two of the most famous show tunes ever written - Tea for Two and I Want to Be Happy (who doesn't!) - You'll be singin' and dancin' from your seats!
