Story:  By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead — expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.

Cast:  3 Women, 2 Men and an additional 3 for Chorus
All parts are mid to late twenties, except members of Chorus can be any age.  This is a show with music.  All cast will play multiple roles which could include clocks, dogs, snakes, and assorted other animals/things.
Nelly Fail – the youngest
Jenny June Fail – the middlest
Gertrude Fail – the eldest
John N. Fail –  the adopted brother
Mortimer Mortimer – the lover (must sing and move well)
Chorus – all cast will be in chorus
