Ruth, a level-headed would-be writer, and Eileen, a dewy-eyed man-magnet, venture into the madcap Manhattan of the 1930s in search of fame, fortune and fellas. The brassy score includes such tremendous tunes as It's Love, Christopher Street, A Little Bit In Love, 100 Easy Ways and Ohio. Full of buoyant misadventures and happy endings, this Wonderful Town makes for a wonderful time. Call (206) 625-1900 for tickets.
