The Copperstate Dinner Theater At Phoenix Greyhound Park is pleased to announce the World Premier of a new musical by Peter J. Hill - Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime? June 6 through August 10, 2008

Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime? Is set to some of the toe-tapping-est music of the century and tells the depression-era story of a put upon girl who dreams of stardom on the silent screen. When a young man, down on his luck, comes into her life, he works his magic to make her dreams come true! Peter J. Hill is the Producing Director of The Copperstate Dinner Theater and is the author of several popular plays, musicals and revues including Ashes to Ashes, The Big Radio Broadcast of 1941, Could You Repeat the Question, The Three Musketeers, Broadway By the Decade and Broadway Jukebox - all of which have won the Arizoni Award of Theatrical Excellence for Best Original Musical. Beginning with the classic tale of Cinderella, Peter set the action in California in 1929. The stock market has crashed and Cindy lives a put upon existence with her step-mother and step-sisters. Instead of the Prince having a grand ball, it is the handsome and charismatic silent film star Rudolph Gilbert Fairbanks who is holding nation-wide auditions for his new leading lady. And instead of a magical fairy godmother, Peter has introduced Buddy, the down on his luck former millionaire, who, smitten with Cindy, pulls strings from his past to send her to the auditions. The musical is packed with fabulous depression-era music including We’re in the Money, Pennies From Heaven, They Can’t Take That Away From Me. and Brother (Buddy), Can You Spare a Dime?
