Mame

Mame is a happy happening! It’s the height of the 1920’s and Mame, a well-to-do New Yorker who lives for the moment and believes that “life is a banquet,” is surprised by a wonderful present – her 10-year-old orphaned nephew Patrick. Based on the novel by Patrick Dennis and the play Auntie Mame by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, Jerry Herman’s score is priceless. Special songs include: “If He Walked Into My Lie Today,” “We Need a Litte Christmas,” “Bosom Buddies” and the smash hit, “Mame.” Patrick’s unorthodox rearing by his Auntie Mame is further enlivened by an incomparable cast of characters: bosom buddy Vera Charles, a multi-martini grande dame of the theatre who can’t stand children; Patrick’s repressed nanny Agnes Gooch, who learns how to “live” from the irrepressible Mame; a boorish banker Babcock who wants to make Patrick a prisoner of the “establishment” and almost succeeds; a southern gentleman named Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside who rescues Mame and Patrick from the balloon burst of the Depression; and her best friend publisher Lindsay Woolsey who with Vera’s help convinces Mame to write her memoirs. What a story!
