"There's something really special at the heart of this show… its affection for the world of musical comedy allows audiences to experience it as totally fresh and sweetly nostalgic all at the same time," said director Lenz in a statement.

Here's how Idaho!, which was awarded Best of Fest at NYMF, is billed: "Tater country is turned spud-side-up in Idaho! when a mail order bride comes to town and falls in love with the wrong man. Born out of wedlock from the golden age of musical comedy comes a new love story…a twisted tale of wife stealin', spud peelin' and double dealin' at a time when men were men and sheep wore lipstick."

Choreography is by Michele Lynch.
