Give My Regards to Broadway
Author(s):
Shubert Fendrich
Musician/Composer(s):
George M. Cohan
Lyricist(s):
George M. Cohan
Combine the greatest show tunes of George M. Cohan with a sparkling story and you have the most entertaining, charming, toe-tapping musical of the season. Dick Foster is opening a Broadway show but is having problems with both money and his leading lady. Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress from New Rochelle, plus "Legs" Ruby, a Damon Runyon-type bookie who is on the run from the mob. Just as all appears lost, a financial "angel" appears with the money to do the show, and Mary gets her big chance at stardom. The play is filled with fascinating character roles, including the "Donald O'Connor-type" pianist, Betty, the Virginia belle in the chorus, along with a bevy of chorus girls, gangsters and other assorted characters. The set, (mostly on an empty stage) is a snap. The Cohan songs are among his most memorable: "Give My Regards To Broadway," "You're A Grand Old Flag," "Mary's A Grand Old Name" and many more. And the cast is completely flexible with room for an additional chorus of any size, plus optional choreography if desired. Here's a show in the true tradition of "42nd Street" and the great Broadway musicals; an audience pleaser for sure. (Also available as a one-act musical.)
