Valley of the Dolls

A stage adaptation of Jacqueline Susann’s best-selling novel chronicling the rise and fall of three young ladies in show business. Anne Welles, a bright, brash young New England college grad leaves her small town and heads for Broadway, where she hopes to find an exciting job and sophisticated men. During her misadventures in Manhattan and, later, Hollywood, she shares experiences with two other young hopefuls: Jennifer North, a statuesque actress who wants to be accepted as a human being, but is regarded as a sex object by all the men she meets, and Neely O’Hara, a talented young actress who’s accused of using devious means to reach the top, pulling an All About Eve-type deception in order to steal a good role.
