Synopsis

The show has its origination in the early 1930s just prior to the end of the Prohibition era. Two male jazz musicians, Joe and Jerry, see a mobster commit a crime at the Speakeasy where they’re performing. Rather than have the mobster to try to kill them, the musicians decide to go on the run.

They put on disguises and, though they're cross-dressing, are able to join a touring all-women swing big band. While touring, the two fall for the band’s singer, Sugar Kane. They keep their real identities concealed, but they both hope to find romance Sugar Kane.

As the group tours, engagements form that threaten to expose Joe and Jerry as men. The mob and the FBI become involved, spotting Jerry and Joe from their tap-dancing routines. Which further complicating the groups movement to performances and its ability to receive funding from new investors.

Jerry, who now must pass off as Daphne, falls falls for an investor, leading to a marriage proposal. Eventually, everyones real identity becomes known, but none of the characters let that alter their feelings for each other. As Prohibition expires, everyone is able to move on with their new lives.
