Medicine Show Theatre
549 W 52nd St-3rd floor, New York, NY 10019
Rambunctious and silly as only the flapper decade could be. Book by Kaufman and Connelly, songs by Kalmar and Ruby. This is true American musical comedy - tin pan alley at its best!

The hilarious 1923 script and score were thought lost for decades. Medicine Show painstakingly re-constructed them to find they are just as funny and timely today as they parody advertising and big business. The vaudeville-inspired humor is timeless too. Features great songs such as All Alone Monday, Cry Baby, Nevertheless, and What Makes a Businessman Tired? and many, many more! 

With Kaufman's You Can't Take It With You taking Broadway by storm and Downton Abbey filling the airwaves, this is an entertaining and unique look at the 1920s, written by the people who were there.
