Thompson Refrain - The Gangster musical

 

    Music: Peter Branka, Text: Werner Alince   

Musical in 2 parts. Duration 2:15.

The plot is a parody about alcohol smuggling and gangers of that time, about corrupt police and protection money blackmailing.

Comment for producers:

This musical has a fixed stage setting (!), which is a night club during the time of prohibition. It takes place in Cleveland. This musical is also suitable for theatres without revolving stage. The stage has to be large enough to allow dancing. It is possible to perform this musical without an orchestra with only one piano fairly well.
