Moon Over Buffalo

In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, the Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950's. At the moment, they are playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in Buffalo, New York, with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from George and Charlotte’s daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body.
