Program Notes
Gelber and Manning are everyone’s favorite romantic vaudeville duo both on and off the stage. Handpicked by a Hollywood producer to star in his next movie, the twosome stands to make it big, but a “peculiar condition” threatens the very foundation of their love. In the midst of scintillating burlesque girls, sleazy producers, and menacing gangsters, Gelber and Manning are thrust into a sinister underworld that brings to light a dark secret from the past.
