Bullets Over Broadway was truly a spectacular musical. From coming in not expecting much from the play to after the professional-like actors performing their line was just amazing. The play takes place New York during the 1920’s and follows David Shayne as he finally has a chance to have one of his plays to be acted out on Broadway. However, he is faced with several challenges both external and internally. David is a self-proclaimed talented play writer who has never had a successful break. He is also in a relationship with a woman who is eager to get married but David sees it as a waste of time. David has had some of his plays played out by they were not successful.
