Synopsis
|
|
Set in a sun-drenched Venice of the 1950’s (and aboard the luxurious surroundings of an ocean liner!), the story follows two fun-loving and flirtatious Gondoliers, who are lucky enough to have their pick of the ladies in their quest for love. Now true love never ‘runs smooth’ of course, and our two heroes find themselves embarking on quite an adventure. Mistaken identity, an impoverished Duke, his beautiful daughter and babies swapped at birth contribute to the Gondoliers’ confusion as they make their way through this ‘laugh a minute’ musical tale.
