Mame

Recently Updated

Based on the novel Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis, Mame is a musical with a book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. The story follows the life of Mame Dennis, a fun-loving and eccentric woman who lives life to the fullest in the 1920s and 1930s. After the death of her brother, she becomes the guardian of her nephew, Patrick, and raises him in her own unconventional way, introducing him to art, politics, and adventure.

As Patrick grows up, Mame's bohemian lifestyle and unconventional ideas clash with the conservative society of the time, leading to challenges and conflicts with those around her. Along the way, Mame finds love with several men, including the wealthy Southern aristocrat Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside, and the middle-aged and married publisher, Dwight Babcock.

Despite the challenges she faces, Mame never loses her spirit or her love for life, and her influence on Patrick leads him to become a confident and independent adult. With memorable songs such as "Mame," "We Need a Little Christmas," and "If He Walked Into My Life," the musical is a celebration of life, love, and the importance of living every moment to the fullest.
