Not a history of the last century, but a madcap musical set among theatre folk on a night train to New York. Cy Coleman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green's show is a backstage musical on wheels as bigwig producer Oscar Jaffee hightails it out of Chicago after his latest disaster. He knows that his former protege is on the train to appear in a stage show in NY, and if he can only get her signature on a contract, his own career will be revived. Religious fruitcakes, vain matinee idols and a train full of would-be playwrights ensure that havoc ensues as Oscar uses fair means and foul to win Lily to his cause. Delicious nonsense with great music as the story unfolds.
