Johnny reflects on the journey to fulfill his dream of having his own live entertainment TV show, The Johnny Platter Show. The cast and crew struggle to keep the show alive as ratings plummet. Along with the help of his producer, Karen, Johnny tries out a series of ideas to enliven the show, which either go terribly wrong or are continually shot down by Harry the TV Executive. All the while there are 3 love relationships occurring amongst the TV cast and crew: Charisse and Lance, two singers on the show, Judy and Mikey, the show’s production assistants, and Karen who secretly longs to be with Johnny. In the end the TV show and the couples risk it all to save the show and find themselves in an unexpected place.
Directed and choreographed by Peter Mills, a native of Boston, Massachusetts, Peter completed his BFA in Musical Theater from The Boston Conservatory in 2010 and went on to perform professionally as a member of Actor's Equity Association in musical productions across the United States.
