Jewish Thighs on Broadway

Breaking into Show Business is like breaking into Fort Knox; breaking out,
we’re talking Alcatraz. So says the heroine of JEWISH THIGHS ON BROADWAY.

Penny Orloff’s solo show is populated by an oddball immigrant family, on-again-off-again lovers, diets from Hell, and a Rogues’ Gallery from the
Showbiz underworld; with music by Berlin, Gershwin, Sondheim, others. In love with Show Business since early childhood, Miriam Rosen has imagined herself as the Little Trouper who finds stardom and true love by the end of the movie. After a hundred shows and a hundred one-night stands love and fame still elude her, and she'd rather suck a tailpipe than face another audition...

Complicating her search for the Busby Berkeley ending is her primitive alter-ego —The Beast. This creature can track, kill, dismember and devour an
entire cheesecake; and kick the crap out of smaller muggers on the sidewalks of New York.

When she finds love at long last, she is faced with an agonizing choice:
Showbiz or The Guy.
