Overview

This song is featured at the end of Act 1 where we see Susie get swept up in the facade of a lavish lifestyle with a richer man than her husband when she accepts an invitation to a fancy ball at which, under normal circumstances, she has no place.

'Can't You Hear That Jazz?' from the 2011 musical Glimpses of the Moon

Set amid the whirl of 1922 Manhattan society, this sparkling comedy features a jazzy danceable score and a timeless romantic story. With plenty of friends but little money, Susy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing devise a clever scheme to live beyond their means. They'll marry and live off the wedding gifts, while they help one another secure more suitable millionaire spouses. The plan works perfectly - until they fall in love.
