Mame, based on Patrick Dennis’ novel Auntie Mame, features a score by Jerry Herman and a book 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 Vera Charles. Both Lansbury and Arthur won Tony Awards for their work. A subsequent film version cast Lucille Ball as the vivacious Mame. 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.”

The design and production crew includes Anne Shuttlesworth (music director), Cliff Simon (scenic designer), Julie Duro (lighting designer), Kurt Alger (costume/wig designer), Craig Beyrooti (sound designer), Mark Johnson (production stage manager), and Amy M. Bertacini (assistant production stage manager). Casting was done in New York City by Wojcik/Seay Casting.
