WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Winner of the coveted Kleban Prize and Richard Rodgers Award, Once Upon a Time in New Jersey is an Italian-American fairy tale set in 1956 Hoboken. Vinnie LoBianco (David Perlman), an unassuming sandwich-maker, is in love with counter girl Angie Moscato (Briga Heelan). But Angie's got it bad for Rocco (Jeremy Cohen), the local hunk, whose sights are set on sexy dance teacher Celeste (Catherine LeFrere). When Rocco runs afoul of Celeste's husband Billy (Jonathan Gregg), the result is a series of hilarious misunderstandings and madcap misadventure.

While the show's opening and closing numbers invoke the Garden State, its Italian-American neighborhood in 1956 recalls Brooklyn more readily than Lodi, New Jersey. And geography is hardly the issue, since the show's locale is really musical comedy land, a place where song and dance are the prescribed ways of communicating everything from fear to love.
