On the Twentieth Century Synopsis: Oscar Jaffe is a successful Broadway director; Lily Garland, one of his stars. But when she leaves his direction, his success goes with her. When he recognizes her aboard the Twentieth Century Limited, the train that both of them are riding, he tries to get her back for a new show. But accomplishing that feat isn't as simple as he had thought. The second biggest issue with the show: The Direction; everything takes too long to be conveyed, significantly more so in the songs, which go on far longer than they should. Whole verses and repeating choruses could easily be cut to create a tight, fun musical instead of one that goes on longer than it should. The first issue: The Cast; a good attempt by the cast to make this show work, but these "Twentieth Century" passengers could use some steam.
