A fast-paced musical journey with eight eccentric characters from a mining town in 1898 Montana, where Pierpont Mackerel Davenport, a ruthless copper king, has dropped dead on the eve of his daughter’s wedding. The topsy-turvy household is shaken up by the arrival of Marcella Sorella, opera diva extraordinaire and her cohort, Egyptian tenor Raimondao Vecchiofaraone, from Cairo, Egypt or is it Cairo, Illinois? Surprise relationships are revealed, the tables are turned, and all characters reveal their true identities in a sparkling romp.
