Tap your troubles away with this 8-time, Tony-nominated delight from the Tony Award-winning composer of Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage Aux Folles.
This rollicking and romantic musical tells the true story of legendary 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 greatest leading lady, comedienne Mabel Normand. Mack & Mabel takes you on a musically-thrilling roller coaster ride through Jerry Herman’s best score, including such blockbuster classics as “Tap Your Troubles Away,” “I Wanna Make the World Laugh,” “Movies Were Movies,” “I Won’t Send Roses” and “Time Heals Everything.” The New York Post called Mack & Mabel “the most lovable musical in years” and the folks at the Bickford promise you a toe-tapping good time—and a happy ending!
Mack & Mabel stars Scott McGowan as Mack Sennett and Larissa Klinger as Mabel Normand, reprising the roles they performed this summer at the Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven NJ. (Note: If you ever attended a performance at Dreamcatcher Rep in South Orange, you may have had the pleasure of seeing Scott McGowan perform. He's a delight!)
