Vienna. March 1938. Germany invades Austria. Actress Lola Blau is finally getting ready to make her dreams come true and hit the theatrical big time when war breaks out in Europe.
An outstanding vehicle for a solo singer/actress relating the story of a young actress's career, starting at the time of the 'Anschluss' in Vienna in March 1938 and following her through Switzerland to stardom and disillusionment in the U.S.A. and her heart-breaking return to post-war Vienna. Using back projection, sound effects and several off-stage (optionally on-stage) small spoken parts, the story is told in some 20 cabaret-type songs, in every mood from virtuoso high comedy to tragedy.
