Musical Farce in 2 Acts

Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore

7m, 5f (2 dancers)

Unit Set

Reminiscent of the screwball farces during the golden age of cinema, this romping musical teams Felix T. Filibuster, the greatest detective in the world, up with Pinchie the silent butler, and his Italian friend and coworker, Pepponi. The trio, along with a classic comedic cast, try to prove that Clyde Ratchette is trying to swindle the wealthy Mrs. Stuffington, who has just invested a bundle in the production of The Nutcracker Suite. The mishaps, jokes, musical numbers and mayhem lead to a farcical climax that incorporates elements of The Nutcracker Suite into its craziness. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
