Product Description
Who's Got the Keys is a musical comedy based on the everyday, on-the-job life of nursing. The cast of 20 includes nurses who are professional and nonprofessional actors/actresses. While open to the public, it does target nurses. The show is about an exhausted nurse who "discovers the real meaning of being a nurse'' by battling an evil, four-headed HMO monster with help from a wacky cast of characters.Through song, dance, and shtick, it is an expression of empathetic understanding and support for what often is characterized as a thankless profession; one might think of it as providing nursing care to nursing colleagues and the profession.
On the day of the premier opening of the 'Keys', May 1,1998, tragedy struck the show which was also being performed as part of the observance of national Nurses' Week. After a rehearsal in New Lebanon, New York/USA, five cast members were killed when the vehicle they were riding in was engulfed in flames after a head-on collision with a tractor-trialer rig. They were on their way to Albany for a rally at the State Capitol by a grass-roots nurses' organization called the Florence Project which publicizes problems related to health care.
In tribute to its lost cast members, Who's Got the Keys premiered in May of 1999 and has since presented performances in several cities in the US.
