Max Gordon presents The cat and the fiddle

"The musical takes place in Brussels and tells of the attraction between a Romanian classical composer, Victor Florescu, and a vivacious woman jazz composer from America, Shirley Sheridan. Their music styles clash when a producer tries to lighten Victor's operetta, The Passionate Pilgrim, with some of the jazz composer's uptempo numbers. However, as in all operettas, everything turns out fine and the two find true love together." (Richard Connema) The play was the basis of the 1934 movie of the same name, directed by William K. Howard and starring Ramon Navarro and Jeanette MacDonald.
