Mame
Mame launched The Production Company in 1999 with Rhonda Burchmore in the title role. Rhonda and Alan Fletcher return to re-create the roles of Mame and Beauregard in this new staging which will be our 30th Musical.
Mame Dennis is the original party girl until she inherits her young nephew, Patrick. Mame and Patrick hit it off as Mame introduces him to her freewheeling and unorthodox lifestyle. With the stock market crash, Mame loses her money and Patrick’s guardian insists he be enrolled in a normal school. Mame joins the workforce and after a series of odd jobs, she marries Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside, a southern aristocrat. They travel the world on an extended honeymoon that only ends when Beau falls off an Alp. Mame returns to New York to find Patrick still in need of her help.
Songs include “Mame”, “Open a New Window”, “We Need a Little Christmas” and “Bosom Buddies”.
