"Times Square The Musical is the story of a young singer, Elaine, seeking fame as a singer on Broadway. Her journey takes her to The Booby Hatch where she gets her first break. The club's owner Brady soon finds that he has not only discovered a great new talent but may be falling in love as well.  Times Square The Musical follows an exciting young cast through memorable songs telling the story of people following their dreams and searching for love in the heart of New York City's Times Square.  Times Square The Musical is a fully staged production combining the traditional Broadway style musical with the intimate environment of Sofia's Downstairs Theater," state press notes.
