Both sides of this famous love affair begin at a deli in Miami in 1977, where Jackie Mason – a renown 46 year old Comedian, (played by Ian Wehrle), spots a pretty young college girl –Ginger (played by Jackie’s own daughter – comedian Sheba Mason). Along for the ride is her glamourous and overbearing mom, Mrs. Olivier, who engineers the whole affair from with unforgettable panache down to the negligee, and hilarious cast of seven. Romance blooms, and soon Jackie is wooing her each winter whenever he’s in South Florida churning up laughs with the South Beach set. The trouble is, Jackie is also wooing a lot of other women at the same time - a gorgeous young waitress and a nasty woman, a fact that Ginger soon discovers and that sends her into romantic distress. After 10 years, she becomes pregnant, Jackie denies his paternity, while still yearning to be with her, and a complicated relationship begins, including Sheba’s own love for the man she knows is her father and whom she wishes she knew. The Original Score written by the girl in the eye of the comedic storm -Ginger Reiter - includes “Ode to the Early Bird Special” and “I Never Met This Yenta”. Critically acclaimed: "Astonishing", "Great Music", "Hilarious yet Touching", the show has been a crowd-pleaser Off Broadway for four years.
