Music by David Caldwell
When Gene and Don, a Vaudeville tap dancing duo, are forced to re-evaluate their unsuccessful career in show business, they decided they gotta getta girl into the act -- even if it means keeping Don from the one thing he's always wanted: Gene! And when their new and adorable tap dancing beauty, Debbie, turns out to be more than what meets the eyes, Don is forced to take drastic steps to win back his man in this 1930's musical romp that takes audiences from the Vaudeville stage to Broadway to the Hollywood of yesteryear.
