'Her name was Lola'...the unforgettable opening lyric of Barry Manilow's hit Copacabana, is the inspiration for an exciting musical tale, of love and romance, set at the heart of the swinging nightclub scene of the 1940s. While creating the world's next big hit, Stephen, an aspiring songwriter, is carried back to an era when 'music and passion were always the fashion' at the world famous and glamorous Copacabana nightclub in New York City. In his dream, Lola La Mar, a hopeful showgirl, is launched on the path to stardom as a Copa Girl with the help of Tony Forte, a bartender with dreams of his own. Captivated by her performance, the villainous Rico whisks her away to the Tropicana nightclub in Havana. From this exotic, distant new world, a tale of old-fashioned love, jealousy and murder in the entangled lives of Lola, Tony and Rico unfolds.
