Auntie Mame

25M, 12W, 3B This fabulously successful hit comedy hardly needs introduction. Besides being the source for one of America's most popular musicals, Auntie Mame set a standard for Broadway comedy that's been sought after by others ever since. As the New York Post tells the story: "Auntie Mame was a handsome, sparking, scatterbrained and warmhearted lady who brightened the American landscape from 1928 to the immediate past with her whimsical gaiety, her slightly madcap adventures and her devotion to her young nephew, who grew up to be Patrick Deinnis. Through fortunes that rose and fell and a pleasant but brief marriage to a likable southerner, Auntie Mame's chief concern was the nephew whom she raised." The central figure of this play, undoubtedly, is "a woman of spirit, inate kindness and undefeatable courage." -- from book's back cover
