Synopsis

The show goes back to in the early 1930s just prior to the end of the Prohibition era. Two male jazz musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness the mob commit a crime at the Speakeasy where they’re working. Rather than have the mobster to put out a hit on them, the musicians go on the run.

They put on costumes and, though they are cross-dressing, are able to join a touring all-women swing big band called Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators. While touring, the two fall in love with the band’s singer, Sugar Kane. They must keep their real identities concealed, but they both hope to gain the favor of Sugar Kane.

Whilst touring, romances form that threaten to expose Joe and Jerry as men. The mob and the FBI get involved, recognizing Jerry and Joe from their tap-dancing routines. Which further complicating the groups movement to performances and its ability to make agreements with new investors.

Jerry, now identifying as Daphne, falls in love with one of the investors, leading to a planned wedding. They can't keep their identities hidden forever, but none of the characters let that change their feelings for each other. As Prohibition comes to an end, everyone is able to move on with their new lives.
