Two Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
Original Broadway Version
The enchanting story of Essie Whimple, a rather plain girl with a
hyperactive imagination, provides the basis for a rare murder mystery
musical and an impressive star turn for a captivating “triple-threat”
performer.
When a young actress has been murdered in early
1900's London, the enterprising Simpson Sisters' Waxworks installs a
tableau of the grisly deed. The exhibit offends muscle-bound actor Tom
Baxter, who considered the deceased actress to be like a kid sister –
and with whom the Simpsons’ excitable niece Essie promptly falls in
love. Determined to see Tom again, Essie pretends she's been attacked
by the murderer, and so begins a romantic, fast-paced adventure
involving cunning disguises, spine-tingling chases, startling visions,
an ill-fated show at the Odeon Music Hall, and a cold-blooded killer on
the loose… not to mention some great songs and high-spirited dancing!

After seeing The All Night Strut! in Toronto, Ella Fitzgerald burst into the dressing room scatting “It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing.” The cast didn’t skip a beat, joining her in an improvised jam.
