The Great All American Disaster Musical

Overview

Film producer Junior Dover (Jr.) hasn't made a picture since his last flop, "Zombies of the Stratosphere". But his latest project has everything, " from earthquakes to savage lobsters." Junior induces every major Hollywood star, a few has-beens, and even a maybe, to appear by tailoring separate scripts to meet each star's personal requirements. So each star assumes he or she "is" the whole picture, with the other Greats relegated to supporting roles - an assumption that leads to all kinds of madcap frenzy. How Junior manages to stay one jump ahead of disaster makes this play a champion laugh-getter. This is Hollywood, after all! Anything can happen, and does! All the parts give a comically ludicrous sweep to the legend that is Hollywood!
