Top of PageNymphony In 12 D
Synopsis:
Wallis' delightful "farcical" is about an aspiring gay singer who moves into New York's famous Ansonia Hotel, where the apartment's resident nymph offers him stardom in return for some fleshly relief. Two parts farce, one part backstage musical, the piece features lots of door slamming and towel-dropping, plenty of mistaken identities and double-entendres, a few melodic pop songs and one over-sexed nymph.
