“On Your Toes” at Allegro Productions

Gangsters, vaudeville and the Russian Ballet come together in this riotous, romantic romp. Junior's folks pull him from the family's vaudeville act and pack him off to school where he becomes a music teacher. He meets Sydney, a composer, and Frankie, a coed who's fallen hard for him, and together they set about trying to sell Sydney's new jazz ballet to a Russian ballet company. But with the prima ballerina's assistance, a show is produced with Junior in the lead. Junior then dances the premiere while being shot at by thugs who have mistaken him for a dancer who owes them money for a gambling debt.
