About the Play: The play opens as the main character, Eddie Ryan, returns to his
alma mater to search for his "first love." His memories become the focus of the
play and the audience is taken back to certain events like the first day of
school, going to confession for the first time, and the senior prom. The play is
mostly how the later blooming Eddie and the chubby little girl Becky become best
friends, fall in love, and then go their separate ways when Becky chooses to
join a convent. This is a classic story of “boy gets girl, boy loses girl, and
boy gets girl with a charming twist.” Featuring a hysterically funny and
heartwarming score, "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" is a
bittersweet journey of friendship. Gleeful audiences flocked to see this show in
Chicago, where it became the city's longest running show, in Philadelphia, where
it broke attendance records, and in cities across the country. The score and
lyrics by James Quinn and Alaric Jans feature hilarious songs such as "It's The
Nuns," "Mad Bombers and Prom Queens," and "Private Parts." Based on the book by
John R. Powers.
