Set in the nostalgic 1940's, this play-within-a-play takes the
audience on a magical ride between reality and fantasy. The vibrant
songs range from boogie-woogie to romantic to patriotic to the
sizzling Latin beat. Onstage, the actors are rehearsing a
lighthearted musical, Radio Rhythm. Backstage the actors' lives are
not as simple as the optimistic characters they play. Gabriel is a
struggling producer depressed over his failures and loss of his son
at Pearl Harbor. As a last ditch effort, he is producing Radio
Rhythm in a rundown New York theater. His counterpart in the
fantasy is Bernie Bernard, the neurotic manager of K.L.O.V., a
radio station near Los Angeles. To launch the station, Bernie
invites the Latin hot tamale, Lupe Lopez, to perform along with six
winners of a talent contest. Bernie's plans for the big broadcast
go haywire when Nails Diamond and his machine-gun toting gang take
over the radio station. The sarcastic Jimmy is Gabriel's assistant
in real life. He has many jobs to keep the show (and Gabe) going.
In the musical, Jimmy plays different roles from a smooth talking
bandleader to a cocky gangster to the hot tamale herself. The
backstage drama includes Susan and Niles, a married couple who have
lost their careers and romance. In the musical, Susan plays an
enterprising sales girl on the brink of success. Niles plays Nails
Diamond who doesn't take 'no' for an answer. In the backstage
drama, there's also Rosabelle, an ex-vaudeville stripper and
Murray, a comedian, she knew in the past. Rosabelle is a woman down
on her luck. Murray is an alcoholic. In the musical, Rosabelle
plays a gutsy waitress dreaming of a family. Murray plays a brave
police officer. Charise is a young performer with big dreams and
Harry is a young struggling actor. As Vicky and Vic in the musical,
they are confident about their talent and future. Radio Rhythm has
plenty of laughs, silly plot twists and a happy-ending. As for Lupe
Lopez - whatever happened to her? In real life, the actors learn
from their counterparts that the show must go on...and, despite
adversity, so must they. (SOLD SEPARATELY) - CD WITH VOCALS/CD -
