The St. Paul Gangster Musical
1934 Crime is running rampant and St. Paul is the crime capital of the U.S.A.! Public Enemies like Alvin “Creepy” Karpis and the Ma Barker Gang have free reign thanks to a few shady deals and a truce of sorts between the cops and the criminals. But when J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI enter the picture, Karpis and the Barker Gang are put on the run. It’s high stakes at the Hollyhocks Club Casino with great songs by Drew Jansen, dance numbers featuring G-men and Tommy guns, and a dose of dark humor that explores the crazy days of St. Paul’s infamous past.
