Merton of The Movies: The Musical tells the story of a small-town lad who fantasizes about making it big in Tinseltown during the Silent Film era and just what happens when his naive illusions collide with the cold-hearted unpredictability of movie-making. With an exciting and memorable score, it’s a show-biz origins story told with humor and heart —a tangled tale of high hopes, dashed dreams and surprisingly resilient souls.
