Wonderful Town:

Presented by Dallas Summer Musicals

Act I begins during the summer of 1935 in Greenwich Village, New York. A tour guide leads a group of sightseers on a tour of "Christopher Street". There, we meet its colorful citizens.

When the tourists have departed, the witty Ruth Sherwood arrives with her pretty young sister Eileen. The two have just arrived from Ohio determined to forge a life in the big city as a writer (Ruth) and an actress (Eileen). Soon they are living in a basement apartment, recently vacated by a local prostitute Violet, and loaned by the "loveable" landlord, Mr. Appopolous. The sisters are soon stricken with homesickness for "Ohio".

The next morning, Ruth and eileen set out to try their hand at "Conquering New York", only to find defeat and humiliation. Eileen, at least, has met Frank Lippencott, a local Walgreen's manager who has developed a crush on her. Ruth, however, is left to wonder at her sister's magnetic appeal and her own unique romantic abilities, as she lists "One Hundred Easy Ways" to lose a man.

Eventually, Ruth talks her way into the offices of a short story magazine, where she meets Bob Baker, and editor, and his assistants. The men abruptly tell her "What A Waste" it was to come to New York. Undaunted, Ruth leaves three stories with Bob in the hope that he will read them.
