What Is The Jackie Mason Musical About?

The story begins at The Rascal House Deli on Miami's Collins Avenue in 1977, where Mason - a renowned 46 year old comedian, spots a pretty young college girl, Ginger (played by Sheba Mason), among the pickles and cole slaw. Along for the ride is her overbearing mother, Mrs. Olivier, who engineers the entire affair - even down to a black negligee. Romance does bloom, and Mason woo Ginger each time he visits South Florida. The problem is that Jackie is pursuing several other women at the same time, including a ravishing young Latina waitress, Trixie, and Rosa, a sassy mature waitress with attitude. Ginger becomes pregnant, Jackie denies his paternity while still sleeping with her and her baby bump, and a complicated relationship ensues.
