SYNOPSIS OF SHOW



While creating the world's next big hit, Stephen, an aspiring songwriter, carried back to an era when "music and passion were always in fashion at the world famous Copacabana nightclub in New York. In his dream, Lola La Mar, a hopeful showgirl, is launched on the path to stardom as Copa girl with the help of Tony Starr, a bartender with dreams of his own. Captivated by Lola's performance, the villainous Rico whisks her away to the Tropicana nightclub in Havana. From this exotic, distant new world, a tale of old fashioned love, jealousy and murder in the entangled lives of Lola, Tony and Rico unfold.
