What could be better than a slice of thin crust pizza loaded with mushrooms and onions and peppers, hot enough to burn the roof of your mouth, but well worth the momentary pain.
Life is not as predictable, unfortunately, as the pleasure of devouring a pizza layered with pepperoni. The passage from awkward and uncertain adolescence to the independence and certainty of adulthood can be a rocky road, especially for a trio of young waitresses trying to forge a future for themselves at a pizza parlor in Mystic,Connecticut. We all remember Julia Roberts as the adorable Daisy in the 1988 MGM movie, written about our state by Amy Holden Jones while she was summering here and frequented the small hometown pizzeria of the same name. Enjoy the tunes like “Mad About You,” “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” “True Colors,” and “Take My Breath Away,” and a dozen others.
Kudos to the Palace Theater for offering up this sizzling and spicy treat until Sunday, October 4 for our just past summertime fun and musical pleasure as we become acquainted with Jojo who may or may not be ready to commit herself to marrying her boyfriend Bill Montijo, even when it’s her actual wedding day, Kat Arujo who is willing and able to work a multitude of jobs so she can earn her way to college but hits a major roadblock when she is intrigued by the married architect Tim Travers and lastly Daisy who falls under the spell of the sophisticated and well-to-do Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr., an artist who has already flunked out of law school.
No one promised young love was a bouquet of orange blossoms and each girl discovers the promise and the heartbreak coming her way. The pizzeria’s owner Leona Silvia has her own set of decisions to make but is the caring mother hen to her tender chicks. The sisters Daisy and Kat and their best friend Jojo all want something more from life and are willing to sacrifice and work hard to achieve it.
