I haven't actually played it, but I've heard quite a bit about it (it was
done here a few years ago). My guess is that if it's set in the Twenties
the music will be pretty much all jazz. I like that, but if you don't,
well, don't do the show. I would say go for it - you can study in the pit
between numbers!
