Book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman
Based on the novel "Auntie Mame" by Patrick Dennis
Mame Dennis is a larger-than-life personality living the high life in the Roaring Twenties in New York City. She has a collection of eccentric, wealthy society friends and her life is one endless party. Her brother in Iowa dies unexpectedly, and she suddenly finds herself the guardian of his 12 year-old son, Patrick, which leads to all sorts of misadventures.
Mame Is an ebullient and irresistible story of the joy of living life to the fullest packed with Jerry Herman songs that are in perfect accord with the positive attitude of the story, and includes the most memorable title song ever written.
This show will be sure to put a song in your heart and dance in your step as you cheer and celebrate the personality of one of the most vivacious characters on the musical stage… Auntie Mame Dennis.
