About the Show When the young orphaned Patrick Dennis shows up on his Auntie Mame’s doorstep, nothing can prepare him for the world he finds. Mame Dennis is an eccentric, flamboyant, perpetual party-goer, epitomizing the wild spirits of the Roaring Twenties. She takes on the rearing of her young charge with her own inimitable style. As the years pass, Mame and Patrick and their little ‘family’ grow and learn the true meaning and value of love. They survive the hardships of the Depression when Mame’s fortune collapses; they endure when Mame makes a disastrous attempt to enter show business (helped by her best friend Vera, an equally flamboyant stage diva); and they even make it through Patrick’s engagement to the daughter of an ultraconservative banker. The other members of this odd-ball group are Ito, the over-burdened servant, and Patrick’s nanny Gooch, who goes through an ‘awakening’ of sorts with hilarious consequences. This rich and vibrant story is told through some of the best songs Broadway has ever offered, including “We Need A Little Christmas”, “Open a New Window”, and of course “Mame”. Nominated for 8 Tony Awards in 1966 including Best Musical! |
