Set at the Colorado Inn, high in the Rocky Mountains, LITLE MARY SUNSHINE harkens us back to a time when "good meant good, bad meant bad, virtue was all and justice always triumphed". A hysterical and tuneful spoof of such classic operettas as "Rose Marie" and other Nelson Eddie/Jeanette MacDonald vehicles, its original 1959 Off-Broadway production ran over 1,100 performances. Walter Kerr exclaimed, "I felt pain: pain that I almost never see anything so easy and foolish and delightful on Broadway any more." Catch it now before the show’s scheduled Broadway revival ties up performance rights! |
