Bullets fly and bathtub gin flows in Cole Porters 1930 Prohibition musical The New Yorkers, a gleefully amoral celebration of speakeasies, gangsters, society dames, and the great city they love. The show centers on featherbrained socialite Alice Wentworth, whose bootlegger beau leads her on a madcap romp from Park Avenue to Sing Sing and back again. The New Yorkers produced a number of standardsI Happen to Like New York, Love for Salebut much of the original material has been lost, making this Encores!s most ambitious musical reconstruction ever.
