PENNIES FROM HEAVEN is about real people in real difficulties in a real America of 1935 not imitating but living again within the great musicals of that period. Herbert Ross declares about it: "I have been searching a phrase to describe this musical but there has never been anything quite like it. lt is not an attempt to recreate a pastiche musical of the thirties. It has a very strong dramatic story as well as a very funny one about human frailties. Il also has sentiment and pathos as well as laughter''.
