Set in Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties, vaudeville performer, Queenie and her volatile partner, Burrs, host an evening of excess for her guests; a collection of the unruly and undone. The jazz and gin-soaked party rages to a mounting sense of threat as artifice and illusion are stripped away. When midnight debauchery leads to tragedy at dawn, this dark and decadent musical reminds us that no party lasts forever.
