Summary

The musical is a romantic coming-of-age comedy about a young American's growth from naive college athlete to sophisticated owner of his Greataunt Minnie's Parisian fashion house. Like The Cat and The Fiddle, which had been set in Brussels, Roberta presents a comedic clash between Old World Europe and brash New World America.
