WHEN: September 23 – October 17, 2010
Tap your troubles away with this rollicking and romantic musical from the composer of Hello, Dolly! and La Cage Aux Folles. Mack & Mabel takes you on a thrilling roller coaster ride through Jerry Herman's greatest score in this tale of silent movie director Mack Sennett's pie-in-the face, Keystone Kops, and Bathing Beauties Hollywood- and Mack's even wilder love affair with his leading lady Mabel Normand. Enjoy such classics as "I Won't Send Roses" and "Time Heals Everything" in what the New York Post called "the most lovable musical in years."

Hollywood is abuzz! Producer David O. Selznick has shut down the filming of Gone with the Wind. The screenplay just isn't working. So what's a movie mogul to do? Fire the director, pull Victor Fleming off The Wizard of Oz, and lock himself, Fleming, and script doctor Ben Hecht in his office for five days until they have a script. With only bananas and peanuts to sustain them, they work through and act out Margaret Mitchell's bestseller and make movie history by fashioning a screenplay for one of the most successfuul films of all time. "Frankly my dear, this is one funny play." —NY Daily News.

Rising film star, Mitchell Green is soon to become a household name, thanks to his devilish agent, Diane. With Mitchell on the brink of super-stardom, Diane encounters one small obstacle: she can't seem to stop him from coming out of the closet! With Mitchell spending days and nights with his new "friend" Alex, and Alex's beautiful girlfriend Ellen causing a drama of her own, what lengths will Mitchell go to play the part? And will there be a Hollywood ending when the final credits roll? This Tony-nominated comedy hilariously satirizes the superficial world of show business. "Tremendously funny." —Star Ledger.

Actor Andrew Rally has it all: fame from his starring role in a hit TV series, a beautiful girlfriend, the perfect NY apartment, and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park! There are, however, a couple of glitches: his series has been cancelled, his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity, and he absolutely HATES Hamlet! A botched seance produces the ghost of the greatest Hamlets--John Barrymore--who tries to convince Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor's destiny. The laughs come fast and furious in this Tony nominated screwball comedy, filled with humor, romantic entanglements, and even a swashbuckling duel! You'll have a ghostly, good time. "Hilarious." —The New York Times.
