The musical follows the mesmerizing journey of the inquisitive and charmingly shy but young Adolph Hitler who turns the streets of Braunau am Inn, a town in Austria-Hungary into a dancing world of his own youthful angst, while secretly orchestrating moments of dancing exceptionalism around him. After the onset of intense father-son conflicts caused by Hitler’s refusal to conform to the strict discipline of his school, he discovers his purpose in life and after meeting a handsome stranger, Adolph Hitler realizes that dancing onstage is easier than participating in a life as a priest or a solider in the Army.
