It is the story of Jerry Ryan, a tall and handsome WASP lawyer from Omaha who has left his wife and domineering father in law to come to New York, and Gittel Mosca, a sassy, loveable Jewish girl from the Bronx who wants to be a dancer
This unlikely couple meets, falls in love, and parts in a bittersweet tale that is full of fun, music and laughter
Sparkling musical numbers capture the street scenes of New York, the dynamic dancing escapades of Gittel and her choreographer friend David, and the ups and downs of Gittel and Jerry's affair
Included is a balloon dance that The N.Y. Times calls "the nuttiest - and maybe just plain funniest - number I have seen in a musical"
"A love of a show" ~ N.Y. Times
"One of the best musicals I've seen" ~ Rex Reed
