Le Théâtre gaieté dans Deadrock, le Nevada, est pratiquement en faillite, mais le fils du riche banquier de l'enfant de Bobby tourne autour des choses. Sa passion pour le théâtre mène à l'amour les vicissitudes habituelles et les subtilités comiques - et un nouveau spectacle réussi.I Got Rhythm, désormais un standard de jazz, a été réalisée au cours des années par de nombreux artistes célèbres et moins célèbres. Le schéma d'accords est devenu si célèbre qu'il a été nommé changements de rythme, et est souvent utilisé par les musiciens de jazz. / 4 Saxophones / niveau : Elémentaire / Partition
