If It Was Easy is a play written by Stewart F. Lane and Ward Morehouse III.
The play is a greatly exaggerated version of a real life article on the front page of the New York Post involving Lane and Morehouse after the death of Frank Sinatra.
Legendary producer Steve Gallop, suddenly down on his luck, is seduced by the charms of a beautiful showbiz columnist, Randi Lester, who is betting she can improve Gallop’s Broadway track record with a musical based on the life of Frank Sinatra.
The idea is to attract front page attention around the world; hundreds of Sinatra wannabes swamp Gallop’s offices.
Not among the pleading masses is mobster Joey Fingers, whose “family” knew Sinatra, and who naturally expects to bankroll the entire show.
