Story

What Is the Story of Banana Shpeel?
Banana Shpeel has a very loose story line woven among the show’s various vaudeville and circus acts. Shpeel’s master of ceremonies, Schmelky, is extremely hot tempered with his staff. Frustrated by their boss' constant yelling, several of the Shpeel performers hope to change Schmelky's attitude. When they learn his anger may stem from a trip to Paris gone wrong, they help exorcise some of Schmelky’s inner demons.
