A fairy tale of glamour, love and truth Hollywood style.

Diane (Alexandra Fowler) is a hard-bitten agent determined to see her client, award-winning actor and rising star Mitchell Green (James Millar), make the big time and will do anything to obtain the script that will get him there. The trouble is apart from Mitchell Green having everything he needs to be a star he also has a slight recurring case of homosexuality. When Mitchell falls for Alex (Lindsay Farris), a charming young rent boy with a girlfriend (Alexa Ashton) things start to get complicated. Can Mitchell and Alex have their happy ending or will Diane have to weave a little Hollywood magic of her own?

Director Andrew Doyle has assembled an outstanding cast all making their debut on the Ensemble Theatre stage for this Australian Premiere production. Alexandra Fowler is best known for her long running tv role on Sons and Daughters, and as a singer with The Chantoozies. James Millar co-wrote the musicals The Hatpin and Love Bites, in which he also starred, and most recently appeared in Gutenberg the Musical at Seymour Centre and Jerry Springer The Musical at the Sydney Opera House. Alexa Ashton had a regular role on Home and Away through 2006/7 and appeared in Actors at Work for Bell Shakespeare. Lindsay Farris was first directed by Andrew Doyle in Im Not Rappaport at Theatre Royal for Ensemble in 2004 and has since appeared in many tv series including All Saints, Sea Patrol and Bluewater High.
