TIN PAN ALLEY

“THE MUSICAL of OUR EXCITING TIMES! The unbelievable street where songs are born, now tells its stirring story!”

Songwriters Calhoun and Harrigan get Katie and Lily Blane to introduce a new one. Lily goes to England, and Katy joins her after the boys give a new song to Nora Bayes. All are reunited when the boys, now in the army, show up in England.
