As an alternative to suicide, leading lady and one-time telly star Eleanor Woodwarde takes the lead in an overblown West End salsa musical.

Eleanor fears for her sanity, but as top turn, she knows that, at fifty quid a skull, the show must go on. The perfect antidote to the wannabe Olivers, Josephs and Marias of Saturday night TV!
