Depicting the onstage and backstage antics of a fifth-rate acting troup, it's a sidesplitting symphony of "Seven slamming doors, one breaking window, 10 trips up and down stairs, 17 false entrances, 46 miscues, 22 double entendres, six regular entendres and a million laughs!".

"A blissful and flawless revue!" gushed the Seattle Times.
