"Mame": Sassy Broadway Musical Classic

"Life is a banquet, and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death!" That's the motto of Mame Dennis, one of musical theatre's all-time greatest heroines, in this brassy, tuneful, hilarious, and touching adaptation of Patrick Dennis's bestseller, "Auntie Mame". When bohemian socialite Mame suddenly finds herself the sole guardian of Patrick, an orphaned nephew, her life takes a surprising turn. As the two weather the Great Depression -- as well as Mame's many fascinations and adventures -- she discovers what it means to truly care for someone she loves. Jerry Herman's celebrated score includes the rousing title number, plus "Open a New Window," "If He Walked into My Life," "We Need a Little Christmas," "Bosom Buddies" and "That's How Young I Feel." With its spirit, humor, class, and wit, "Mame" is a genuine masterpiece of musical theatre that's eternally vibrant. With a book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, "Mame" is based on the novel by Patrick Dennis and the play "Auntie Mame". Now you can see "Mame" at the Saratoga Civic Theater.
