WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Jean Cocteau Repertory begins its 34th Season as one of the nation's only permanent resident repertory companies with the 35th anniversary revival of the musical Dames at Sea, directed by David Fuller. The show features book & lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller with music by Jim Wise. Featured in the cast will be Campbell Bridges, Judith Jarosz, Andy Meyers, Chrysten Peddie, Joey Stocks, and Kathleen White.
Full of comedy, tap dancing and love songs, this spoof of 1930s and '40s movie musicals tells the story of naïve, fresh-faced Ruby, who becomes the last minute star of a new show just before the theatre is to be demolished. With a little luck and love, the show must go on...on the deck of a battleship.

Dames at Sea was written in the '60s, when camp had begun to flourish and the folks who made stage musicals were more inclined to spoof old movies than regard them as tested product for straightforward adaptation. Times have changed. So much so that the Busby Berkeley sillinesses that Dames at Sea spoofmeisters George Haimsohn, Robin Miller, and Jim Wise poke good fun at are again considered entertainments to be taken at face value rather than antiquities to be regarded with amused scorn. The proof? 42nd Street, transferred to the stage in 1980 and based on one of the celluloid Dames at Sea targets, is back on Broadway and remains glorious to behold.
