Synopsis

This show-within-a-show follows the romance and secret marriage of Jeanie, a chorus girl, and Larry, an assistant stage manager, as they work on a new Broadway musical called Me and Juliet .

Unfortunately, Bob the electrician still carries a torch for Jeanie.

He threatens their union and, in a drunken rage, tries to kill them both.

Meanwhile, the stage manager, Mac, who swears never to fall for a girl in a show he's working on, faces a challenge when the object of his affection suddenly joins the cast.

Informed by rich insights into the world of Broadway – the acquisition and loss of jobs, the inside tricks of the trade and the pitfalls of backstage romance – Me and Juliet is an innovative, irresistible show that consistently delivers both musically and dramatically.
