Christmas, 1956 in the borough of Queens: Dolores Zuckerman's dream of becoming a television comedienne leads her to danger, romance and intrigue in a naughty Christmas musical conceived and written by B.J. Sebring, with lyrics by David Forman, music by David Forman & Rob Hyman with additional material by Bette Midler, Rick Chertoff, Eric Bazilian and Lou Bellofatto.

The tale is set near Utopia Parkway in the time when Jack Paar and Milton Berle were the toast of the airwaves. Dolores “Dollface” Zuckerman has two ambitions: to tell funny jokes on TV and to wed her boyfriend (a handsome gentile gym instructor, never mind that he's a bit of a mama's boy). Instead, she becomes an unwitting tool of a jeweler's plot to rob his own store. By luck, pluck and a well-timed you-know-what, Dolores manages to outsmart the double-crossing jewel thieves and even gets her man. The slightly ribald tuner is filled with authentic outer-borough types who will have you rolling in the aisles. Music ranges from authentic Rock 'n' Roll to Samba, Mambo, Pop Ballads, Rhythm & Blues and Patter.
