SYNOPSIS: New York salutes Hollywood in this affectionate spoof of the Busby Berkeley-Harry Warren an Al Dubin-Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler-style film musical of the 30s. The setting is the deck of a battleship where Ruby, the talented tap-dancer from the sticks climbs aboard a youngster and disembarks a star! The show is being floated because its songwriter, Dick happens to be a sailor and is able, therefore, to offer an alternative venue when under pressure from leading lady Mona. Unfortunately life on the ocean wave doesn't quite agree with Mona so Ruby takes over and she and Dick set off on a long voyage together.

Please bring 18 bars of a prepared song with sheet music. Be prepared to dance. If you own tap shoes, please bring them. If not, please wear something that will slip across a wooden floor (in other words, no rubber soles!). There will also be cold readings from the script.
