Description: The Paris of Hemingway, Picasso, Josephine Baker and F. Scott Fitzgerald comes to life in this romantic comedy about two headstrong, career-minded American journalists who fall in love in 1920s France, where hopes were high, living was cheap, and youthful ideals were everything. Henderson Booth and Jane Wiley are the two reporters in question, matching wits, locking lips and hobnobbing with the likes of Josephine Baker and Isadora Duncan.

Fast-paced and endlessly entertaining, LUCKY IN THE RAIN is a nostalgic and unabashedly sentimental love story featuring such popular standards as “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” “Doin’ The New Low Down,” the title number, and an unforgettable version of “Sunny Side Of The Street” sung by none other than Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas!

Choreographers take note: opportunities abound for period dance numbers, including a smoldering, showstopping South American tap number for one of the secondary male leads.
