Description

An original bio-musical based on the life and memoirs of the St. John’s born John Murray Anderson, who went from the streets of late 1800’s Newfoundland to the uppermost echelon of Broadway notoriety as a revue producer. Anderson’s journey is one of love, loss and overcoming adversity.
