In the summer of 1953, George and Charlotte Hay, former Broadway stars, bring their run-down touring company to Buffalo, New York, performing pared down versions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives while lamenting missed Hollywood opportunities. Chaos erupts when George’s off-stage affair with the troupe's young ingenue results in an unexpected pregnancy, prompting Charlotte to consider running off with their lawyer, sending lightweight George on a grief-stricken drinking binge. It turns out that Frank Capra is headed to town on a talent scouting mission looking to potentially hire the couple for his swashbuckling Scarlet Pimpernel epic if he likes what he sees. As a result, the Hay family -- including sharp tongued, hard-of-hearing mother-in-law Ethel, determinedly practical daughter Rosalind, and dashing stage manager Paul, Rosalind’s ex-boyfriend -- must work overtime to get sloppy drunk George into his Cyrano hat and nose. With the entrance of Rosalind’s fiance, anxious TV weatherman Howard -- one man with two mistaken identities -- and Richard Maynard, the wealthy lawyer hoping to lure Charlotte away to his mansion -- the confusion only intensifies. With a plethora of pratfalls, slamming doors aplenty, and backstage shenanigans, Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced, hilarious screwball comedy in the old tradition, a throwback farce, a valentine to the stage, and the larger-than-life personalities that inhabit the world of the theatre.
