Synopsis: | London 1942. Two men struggle in the shadows of a city to thrust a new star into the spotlight. Maggie Brown dreams of becoming a famous singer as she nurses wounded soldiers in an East End hospital. With her songwriter George, a Jewish refugee, she auditions at every night club and cabaret bar in London. But nobody wants their act. Their luck and lives change when they meet the handsome, charming and wealthy Sir Frank Conner. A plan is hatched and the mysterious Miss Nightingale explodes onto the stage. More than a few feathers are ruffled and polite society is shocked by her scandalous exploits, outfits and songs. She takes the West End by storm. But out of the spotlight, sexual tensions and illicit love threaten to reveal secrets more dangerously explosive than the bombs falling in the Blitz. Miss Nightingale the musical brings the vintage-style, glamour, sounds and sex scandals of the 1940s thrillingly to life. | |||||
