“Tune the grand up, dance your shoes off, strike the band up, it’s
today!” So begins the musical tale of Mame Dennis, an eccentric Bohemian
whose way of life is abruptly altered when she becomes the guardian of
her late brother’s son, Patrick. The madcap adventures of “Auntie Mame”
and her nephew take us from the speak-easies of the roaring 1920′s to
the Great Depression and World War II, as the pair experience living
life to the fullest and celebrating all it has to offer. With a lavish
score by Jerry Herman, featuring such popular hits as “We Need A Little
Christmas,” “Bosom Buddies,” and “If He Walked Into My Life,” MAME is
one of Broadway’s greatest musical masterpieces.
