The story takes us back to the Great Depression with chorus girl Peggy Sawyer as she comes to the big city with even bigger dreams. She lands a job in the ensemble of a new Broadway show, but just before opening night the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and save the day? Come to the Hale Theatre to find out! Famous songs such as "You're Getting To Be a Habit With Me", "We're In The Money" and "Shuffle Off To Buffalo" will have you tapping in your seats. This show will warm your hearts and remind you to never give up on your dreams.

Leading the show is Hale favorite Rochelle Barton who stars as Broadway's classic diva, Dorothy Brock.
