"Little Mary Sunshine" is a musical comedy that parodies the popular operettas of the early 20th century. Set in the Colorado Rockies, the show follows the exploits of the perky and innocent Mary Potts, who runs a boarding house for young ladies. She falls in love with Captain "Big Jim" Warington, a handsome forest ranger, but their romance is threatened by the arrival of a group of suspicious-looking "flower drum song" Native Americans and a band of rough-and-tumble Canadian Mounties. As the plot thickens, Mary must use her wits to save the day and ensure that everyone lives happily ever after.

The show features catchy tunes, witty lyrics, and plenty of comedy. The characters frequently break the fourth wall and engage with the audience, adding to the show's playful and irreverent tone. The musical's nostalgic style and lighthearted humor have made it a popular choice for community and regional theaters. "Little Mary Sunshine" is a charming and hilarious celebration of the classic American musical.
