1947 Film Version Soundtrack

1920s, a private college. A silly story about a football star who will miss the big game if he fails astronomy, complete with a love triangle.

There is a fair amount of dancing in the show, but it isn't necessarily difficult.

There is an on-stage football game, so football experience might be an asset.

Tom

the good looking and good natured star football player who is failing astronomy

Pat

Tom's conniving girlfriend

Connie

Pat's cousin, the girl whom Tom really loves
