"Give my Regards to Broadway" combines the greatest show tunes of George M. Cohan with a sparkling story for the most entertaining, charming, toe-tapping musical of the season.
Dick Foster is opening a Broadway show but is having problems with both money and his leading lady. Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress from New Rochelle, plus "Legs" Ruby, a Damon Runyon-type bookie who is on the run from the mob. Just as all appears lost, a financial angel appears with the money to do the show, and Mary gets her big chance at stardom. The play is filled with fascinating character roles, including the "Donald O'Connor type" pianist, Betty, the Virginia belle in the chorus, along with a bevy of chorus girls, gangsters and other assorted characters.
The Cohan songs are among his most memorable, including "Give My Regards To Broadway," "You're A Grand Old Flag," "Mary's A Grand Old Name" and many more. Here's a show in the true tradition of "42nd Street" and the great Broadway musicals.
