Carol needs to pay off her debts. Sandi’s hot for Lou, the rock n’ roll Bingo caller. And then there’s Irene, the cranky old know-it-all, oxygen tank in tow, who always wins. When Carol steals Irene’s lucky spot it sets off a course of events none of them could have predicted. A musical about friendship, gambling and just how far we’ll go for the big win.
