...they get acquainted, their chatter is national TV talk-show modern ("With those freeways in L.A., man, nobody says how far anything is in miles, it's just hours, you know").

Choreographer Dan Siretta's dance numbers blaze across the stage like prairie fires, and the smashing chorus girls are a bouquet of red, red roses...
