BOYS, BOYS, BEHAVE!
Book and Lyrics by Jacob Iglitzin
Music by Canaan J. Harris
It's New York City in the Roaring Twenties, and hapless wannabe Broadway composer Theodore Clayton hops from speakeasy to speakeasy in search of a powerful theatre producer in the hopes of getting him to produce his rollicking musical comedy Boys, Boys, Behave!. But just how far is our hero willing to go for a chance at showbiz fame?
