Where: St Martin's Lane, WC2N 4BG
What: A sparkling romantic comedy about "a guy, a gal and Mae West."
Two New York loners, Jo and Charlie, meet at Mae West's grave site. Through their mutual admiration for the voluptuous blonde an unlikely romance develops. As the unlikely courtship progresses, a celebration in songs and laughter of Mae West's racy life and career is magically woven into the story.
"Sheer brilliance, you really should come up and see it sometime." - says The Guardian
The play was written by Claudia Shear who also stars as both Jo and Mae West. Kevin Chamberlin appears as Charlie while Bob Stillman plays the phalanx of men in Mae West’s life. The same cast appeared in the show when it made its UK debut at the West Yorkshire Playhouse back in August 2002.
