Comments from the writer, director:

Let me put my thesis on the table: vaudeville music is the American folk song. Vaudeville comedy is that convergence of dozens of national funny bones into the American sense of humor. Out of the greatest wave of immigration in human history, vaudeville helped to give a new and vital dimension to e pluribus unum. Thank you, Bert Lahr, Fanny Brice, Ethel Waters, Chauncy Olcott, Al Jolson, Lillian Russell, Jimmy Durante, Bert Williams, Sophie Tucker, Gallagher and Shean, Fields and Weber, the Nicholas Brothers, Ed Wynn, Nora Bayes, and thousands of other wonderful, amazing vaudevillians whose work lives on still.
