Pushover
by Jack Sharkey, Ken Easton
Synopsis
This unusual musical tells the story of Samson with reverence for biblical facts, yet with an eye to the wryly incongruous behavior of its hero – and his impact upon the young Israelites who look up to him, despite his casual approach to his vows.
Musical styling will surprise and delight you, ranging from waltz to beguine to ragtime, perfectly suited to the widely varying moods of the plot.
The much reprised and hilarious “Sincerity Rag” will start your audience’s feet tapping.
