      The Blue Orchid, a renowned hotspot on the New York Jazz scene with a reputation for introducing exceptional, new musical talent to world. The club and its owner have seen it all, when names blazed brightly above the door, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Etta James, Julie London – so many got their first break at the Club.

      But 20 years on, the Club is on the brink of bankruptcy. Unless Lucky can come up with a stellar act to carry them through and bring back the punters, it’s over. Lucky’s daughter Rusty wants to prove to her father that she can sing.

      She is young, headstrong and has the perfect voice if only her father would give her a chance. She has grown up in the Club and the only thing between her taking the stage is her father and the truth about her mother.

      6 o’clock is looming, the bankers are moving in… Will Rusty save the Club with the backing of her father or will all be lost?

      Sit back and enjoy a stellar line up of singers and musicians and a great playlist. Including songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and many more…

      *Platters available to pre-purchase as an Optional Extra, for 2 people.
