Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Featuring a score by the great Jule Styne (Gypsy, Funny Girl), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a zany madcap romp on the Ile de France ocean liner in 1921, as Lorelei and Dorothy, two lounge singers working their way to Paris, try to snare themselves rich husbands. The original 1949 Broadway production made a star of Carol Channing and ran for 740 performances. The song list is full of bright and bouncy tunes including the title song, "Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend", and "Bye Bye Baby". The book is based on Anita Loos’ 1925 novel.
