In 1661, when only men played women on England's theater stages, Edward Kynaston reigned supreme as London's most celebrated leading lady. But when actress Margaret Hughes persuades King Charles II to allow actual females to take the stage, the king's own courtesan, Nell Gwynn, and Kynaston's former dresser, Maria, become stars while Kynaston's career may be cut short -- spurring him down a path of revenge and reinvention. Jeffrey Hatcher's hilarious, yet poignant play was also adapted into the film Stage Beauty with Billy Crudup and Claire Danes. Learn More

FIVE BARKS AND FIVE PAWS RATINGS!!!! An absolutely howling evening of songs, dance and laughter with an absolute terrific cast, costume and best of all, intimate seating. Truly one of the best productions I have seen in a small theatre this year and I attend at least one theatre performance a week. DON'T WALK LIKE A HUMAN, RUN LIKE A DOG TO GRAB TICKETS for a wonderful evening!

Never in a million years would I have found this event & theater company had it not been for Goldstar. This is one local troupe I want to support -- what a toe tapping treat. The musical numbers were fun and Douglas Thornton was BRILLIANT!

A very musical friend says the talent was excellent, songs were well done and although the theatre was a little funky, it was a most enjoyable performance and evening overall.

Description

I’m Just Wild About Harry is a musical based on Brandon Thomas’ hilarious English farce Charley’s Aunt first performed in 1892.  Lamb and Reilly have placed this new adaptation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin circa 1910 and added some very fun songs from the early 1900s.  Some of these magnificent songs include "Margie," "K-K-K-Katy," "Aba Daba Honeymoon," "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" and "You Made Me Love You."

Harry Whitman and Jack Chesney, undergraduates at Milwaukee University need a chapersone so that they can entertain Katy Spettigue and Margie Verdun, the niece and ward of Mr. Spettigue, a crotchety old miser. When Harry receives word from his aunt, Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, a rich widow from Brazil whom he has never met, is coming to visit him; they invite Katy and Margie to lunch in order to meet her. But when the aunt's visit is delayed, they persuade their friend Benjamin Babberley (known as "Babbs") to impersonate her.

Cast: Dave Berges, Carol Jones, Sarah French, Mikhail Roberts, Louis Silvers, Melanie Taylor, Matthew Thompson, Doug Thornton and Beth Whitney
