Goin' Hollywood

Music by David KraneBook & Lyrics by Stephen Cole
It’s Alice’s birthday, and Garson, her musical writing partner and sometimes lover, takes her to lunch at the trendiest restaurant in Grand Central Station, The Super Chief Dining Car. 
The restaurant is a perfect replica of the Super Chief Dining car of the train that took everyone out to Hollywood back in the Golden Age.  
Alice and Garson have always had one wish, to live back when movie musicals and MGM was at its hottest, and when Alice blows out her candles and makes her wish, the Super Chief Dining Car starts to move on a track, taking them cross country and back to Hollywood in 1949.
They are told by the conductor that their ticket is good for one year.
Once there, they get jobs at MGM, and find out that every era has its dangers and pitfalls as they encounter the decline of the studio system, sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia, and the Blacklist.
L.B. Mayer has them investigated and finds that they have no identity (as they’re from the future) and thinks they’re Commie spies.
Their year is up and they hot-foot it back home to their own time with a new understanding of who they are and where they are meant to be and that there is no time like the present.
