Little Mary Sunshine
Book, Lyrics & Music by Rick Besoyan
Synopsis: This hugely successful Off Broadway show played for almost three years at New York's Orpheum Theatre, winning an Obie award as the Best of the Season. Billed as "a musical about an old operetta" - Little Mary Sunshine gently spoofs such old-time favorites like "Rose Marie" and "Naughty Marietta" - but has a personality all its own. The plot is a little bit of everything: Colorado Rangers led by stalwart Captain Jim; the lovely Mary Sunshine, her 'naughty' maid Nancy; a chorus of giggling schoolgirls and the ominous but benevolent Indian chief. Hearts are won and lost and won again, in this delightful, laugh-filled and charming show.
