| Show Info | It's Christmas in 1927 in Greenwich Village, and the only thing more tightly packed than the fruitcakes are the secrets! Rob and Tim are busy "playing house" in their cozy apartment, but the holiday peace is about to be shattered by an avalanche of overbearing mothers, eccentric uncles, and neighborly drama. Between a bold red davenport and some very pointed waltzing, these two bachelors must decide if they're ready to stop hiding and finally serve up some truth. Grab a seat for this festive musical romp where the family ties are tangled, the romance is fiery, and the ending is much sweeter than a holiday dessert! |
