This series offers a witty and fast-paced dive into the world of the wealthy and eccentric, where intrigue and scandal are commonplace. Follow the escapades of a young novelist and his unscrupulous friends as they navigate the art scene, high society, and unexpected alliances. The narratives are brimming with humor, ingenious plot twists, and sharp dialogue, evoking the spirit of classic comedies with a contemporary edge.
Gilbert Selwyn, an unemployed, gay schemer, and Moira Finch, his demonically conniving fiancee, engage their friends, their families, and their wits in a plan to stage a wedding and make off with a fortune in wedding gifts. Set in contemporary New York and reminiscent of the comedies of P.G. Wodehouse and Preston Sturges, Blue Heaven is the uproarious tale of a mostly unlikely couple and their brilliant plan to earn a fortune on the way to the altar.
Following the hilarious debacle of Blue Heaven, librettist Philip Cavanaugh has again allowed himself to be drawn into a fiendish money-making plan by his friend and ex-lover Gilbert Selwyn. To this end Philip enters the Champion entourage - a clan so poisonous they make the Borgias look Amish - with his songwriting partner Claire.
