Times Square Angel was first performed in 1984 and has been brought back nearly every holiday season since. An homage to such films as "It's A Wonderful Life," "The Bishop's Wife" and "The Big Street," Times Square Angel is set in the Damon Runyonesque world of 1940's New York. Busch plays tough-as-nails nightclub chanteuse, Irish O'Flanagan, who learns a doozy of a lesson during one jam-packed Christmas Eve.
