Slow Down, Sweet Chariot
by Dave Reiser, Jack Sharkey
Synopsis
When Kitty Shannon dies, she refuses to accompany her guardian angel to heaven when she learns daughter Joan's fiance Norman Gorman is a scheming swindler in love with another woman.
Songs range from the wildly funny one wherein Kitty and Joan lament they can't stand half of the invited wedding guests to a lilting romantic number wherein Joan and the man she should be marrying pretend they really don't love one another to a poignant one when Kitty finally must bid goodbye to her daughter.
Audiences will laugh through their tears during this heartwarming show with a lively and lovely score, startling special effects and zany plot.
