Get your hit tunes right here, right now, folks! This riotous new-fashioned musical reboots the greatest hits of Berlin, Gershwin, Kern and more. When Tin Pan Alley's teen King of the Song-Pluggers falls for a factory girl who's a musical demon, it's a recipe for comic romance as they sing and dance their way through class-struggles, street-gangs, debutante balls and a whole lot of ukuleles. Say "Hello!" to a brand-new, all-American musical valentine for all ages!
