Mame tells the hilarious story of an eccentric socialite in the Roaring ‘20s who finds her madcap Manhattan lifestyle turned upside down when she is appointed guardian of her orphaned nephew, Patrick. Auntie Mame takes him on one whirlwind adventure after another.
The classic Herman score includes such tunes as If He Walked Into My Life, It’s Today, Open a New Window, Mame, Bosom Buddies and We Need a Little Christmas.
Mame is based on Patrick Dennis’ novel “Auntie Mame,” and features a score by Jerry Herman and a boo by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. The original Broadway production opened in May 1966 at the Winter Garden Theatre with Angela Lansbury as Mame and Bea Arthur as her best friend Vera Charles. Both Lansbury and Arthur won Tony Awards for their work. A subsequent film version cast Lucille Ball as the vivacious Mame.
