In the honky-tonk world of marathon dancing in Atlantic City in 1933, a captivating assortment of depression era souls gather at Steep Pier, eager to dance their way to fame as well as prizes. The spectacle is presided over by an oily-tongued emcee who is secretly married to champion dancer, Rita Racine. Her usual partner doesn't show up, so she is paired with a handsome pilot on leave. As the hours of dancing whirl on, Rita becomes increasingly disillusioned with her sleazy, conniving husband and more and more infatuated with the handsome young aviator and a vision of life in a peaceful cottage.
A rich musical score by the same creators of Chicago and Cabaret and other Broadway classics perfectly capture the rhythms of the 1930s dance era.
This sizzling musical is brought to you by the wonderful Musical Theatre Triple Threat students for their inaugural show as their progress into their second year of their training.
