This catchy musical tells a love story about Mario, a mute who can’t talk but can sing, and Gloria, an ex- psychiatric patient who’s not allowed to dance. Mario is an auto mechanic at Gloria’s mother’s auto shop, but Gloria’s overbearing mother is convinced that Charlie Cho, a seemingly nice boy from church, is the right husband for Gloria.
