It’s a new full-length version of this musical with a larger cast, more than 20 original songs and even more outrageous outfits.
Moving to London in search of fame and fortune, Maggie auditions at every cabaret bar, with her songwriter George, a Jewish refugee, but nobody wants their act. Luck changes when Maggie and George are picked up by wealthy nightclub owner Sir Frank, but devastating secrets lurk backstage.
