| Sun | 30 | Varies per performance & day | Theater | Dames At Sea Dames At Sea is a real winner, a little gem of a musical." - New York Times |
This flashy musical is a hysterical spoof of 1930s Busby Berkley style movie-musical spectaculars. |
Totem Pole Playhouse
9555 Golf Course Road |
717-352-2164 |
The show tells
the story of Ruby, just off the bus from Utah, who in the span of one day
falls in love, gets cast as a dancer in a Broadway musical, saves the show by
moving it to a Navy ship, takes over for the star, becomes a hit sensation,
and gets married, to boot! The role of Ruby in the original production
launched the career of Bernadette Peters. Plenty of singing and tap dancing
keep this vessel bounding over waves of laughter. "broadsies the 1930s movie musicals of Busy Berkley with tongue firmly in cheek." - LA Times |
