The year is 1942. The world is ablaze, and Tel Aviv boasts dozens of lively and raucous entertainment hotspots. Cafe "Ritz" is known to be one of the most thriving, where a motley crowd of British officers, wealthy Arabs, and Jewish refugees from Europe get together. "Ritz" entertainment shows are taken straight from the day's movies, providing moments of sanity and hope. Against this backdrop, a plot of twists and turns evolves - passions, betrayals, lies, and a larger-than-life love story. The musical presents a turbulent and fascinating plot where women try to make a living from entertainment while the world is falling apart. The show features the greatest hits from the period's blockbuster films.
