A world premiere musical!
About Goin’ Hollywood
WaterTower Theatre is extremely proud to present the World Premiere of a brand new musical filled with Hollywood glamour, romance, and intrigue. Have you ever wished you were born in a different time? Alice Chandler did. Alice and the 21st Century do not get along, but she never dreamed that she and her reluctant suitor, Garson Stein, would go to lunch at a restaurant in Grand Central Station called the Super Chief Dining Car and find themselves hurtling back in time to Hollywood in 1949. What do you do when you get your wish? When you and your writing partner get signed by MGM to write a movie musical? Alice and Garson are smack in the golden age of movie musicals where they meet L. B. Mayer, find that the studio system is crumbling around them, that the blacklist is hitting their closest allies, and that Ann Miller is not as big a star as they thought! WaterTower’s 25th season wraps up in style with Goin’ Hollywood, a big splashy musical, with a heart as big as MGM, and a totally original, catchy, jazz-tinged score.
