The show of the season...
Putting on the Ritz with impeccable Broadway style, My One and Only is a sparkling confection of jazz and tap, elegance and Roaring Twenties romance, topped with a wonderful musical score featuring classic George & Ira Gershwin melodies. |
The Story...
In the glamorous New York of the roaring Twenties, dashing young pilot Captain Billy Buck Chandler (Steve Reading), aims to be the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic. His dreams take a different turn when he falls head over heels in love with Edythe Herbert (Sue Rourke), a beautiful cross Channel swimming star. Fate takes a hand and, stranded together on a palm-fringed desert island, their true passion is unleashed and they fall into the idyllic world of each other's arms. But with scheming forces at work to drive them apart, can true love win out?

The History...
