Краткое содержание
Проходит время водевилей, на смену пришли сначала, движущиеся картинки, а потом и звуковое кино. Водевильные актеры продолжают играть по старинке, но публике нужно другое действо и на смену старшего поколения артистов приходят молодые, вооруженные своими песнями, танцами, взглядами на жизнь, которые не только отодвигают старшее поколение на задворки, но и занимают их место под солнцем. Правда, они не забывают стариков и не говорят: "Уйдите с дороги", а пытаются поддержать родителей. Хотя вопросы, затронутые в мюзикле, вполне злободневны и сегодня, и будут злободневны и завтра. Смена поколений всегда проходит весьма болезненно.
