About This Show

The Fresh Fruit Festival presents Ain’t We Got Fun!, featuring a book by Michel McFaden. This offbeat original musical extravaganza takes place in a Chicago Prohibition Era speakeasy, and focuses on the timeless theme of two boys in love. They dance, sing and kiss-while fighting all obstacles that keeps them apart and that includes a stock market crash, a gaggle of gangsters, bootlegged alcohol, and the closet. For his musical, McFadden unearthed a treasure trove of little known foot-tapping tunes from the 1920s, including “Gay Love”, ” and “He’s a Good Man to Have Around. Great summertime fun.
