The show unfolds in a Boston theater, where a new musical could be a smash hit, if not for its talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene to investigate. He is quickly drawn in by the irresistible lure of the theatre world he has always dreamed about. Peter Stone's book, adapted for the stage by Rupert Holmes has the feel of a 1950s musical, complete with Wild West cowboys, dancing showgirls and numerous set pieces.
