Two-time Tony Award® winner Matthew Broderick (The Producers) and Tony® nominee Jessie Mueller (On a Clear Day You Can See Forever) starred in a madcap tale of bootleggers, chorus girls, playboys and politicians set loose in a glorious Long Island mansion in the rip-roaring 1920s. The cast featured 2012 Tony® winners Judy Kaye (Best Featured Actress in a Musical) and Michael McGrath (Best Featured Actor in a Musical).
