A nerdy skid row floral assistant becomes a media sensation after he discovers a rapidly-growing exotic plant with an unusual taste for – fresh blood! The ‘60s music by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (the songwriting team for Disney's Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid) is a lively, nostalgic mix of Motown and do-wop.

Al Lewis and Willie Clark were one of the best comedy teams in vaudeville for forty three years. Over time, they grew to hate each other and stayed separated for the last eleven years. CBS is now producing a special on the History of Comedy and, of course, Al and Willie have been asked to be part of the show. Their grouchy reunion is even funnier than their vaudeville act.

Salvatore lives over his shoe repair shop with his Son, Paolo, who's going to be a doctor. Sal's best friend is Carmine, and they also hate one another. Into this Italian ethnic world Paolo brings Dorothy, of "WASP" descent, whose banker type father Sal detests. World War II arrives Paolo's drafted and secretly marries Dorothy. It so happens Sal and Carmine are rich, through judicious investments, and even own Dorothy's father's bank building. Dorothy, now pregnant, moves in with Sal who now defends her against all comers. There are problems there's tears and there's laughter and then there's Carmine's illness. And then there's Lucia, Sal's wife, dead for seven years who comes to him in times of stress. She's far from angelic angel who's knitting wings for Sal's arrival upstairs. And with Carmine being ill, she's knitting another pair (publisher's description).
