Mame opens tonight
and runs through March 2 at The 5th
Avenue Theatre.
"Mame tells the
hilarious story of an eccentric socialite in the Roaring '20s who finds her
madcap Manhattan
lifestyle turned upside down when she is appointed guardian of her orphaned nephew.
Auntie Mame takes him on one whirlwind adventure after another, proving that 'life
is a banquet.' With a rogue's gallery of memorable characters, Mame has touched the hearts and tickled
the funnybones of audiences everywhere," describe press notes.
The irresistible score by Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!, La Cage aux
Folles) includes the title song, "If He Walked Into My Life" and "We Need A
Little Christmas."
