New York City, showbiz capital of the world. Lo La Mar, small-town girl with big dreams of stardom trails from one steamy nightclub to another looking for her big break. Enter budding song writer, Tony Star, with dreams of his own. Smitten by the lovely Lola, he arranges an audition at the Copacabana and launches her career as a Copa girl. But the path of true love never did run smoothly and the Lola is whisked away by the villainous Rico to perform in his club, the Tropicana, in Havana. Aided by the sensational Cuban star Conchita Alvarez, Tony stages a dramatic rescue...
Steamy, sexy, dazzling and daring, enter the world of the Copacabana and its pulsating rhythms where music and passion are always in fashion!
The creative team behind the award-winning Watermill production of Spend Spend Spend! Hot Mikado and Sunset Boulevard bring you their own unique take on Barry Manilow’s hit musical.
