The S. S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman named Moonface Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.

PRESS REVIEWS

“Is there anything more fabulous than watching wonderfully choreographed (by Ray Jeffery and Nick Brannam) tap dancing to the strains of a classic like It’s Delovely while it’s cold outside?”

“The choreography had been created by the director, Ray Jeffery and Nick Brannam, and it was simply stunning, matched by equally stunning dancing.”
