Lee’s brassy, tuneful, hilarious and touching adaptation of Patrick Dennis’s bestseller, Auntie Mame. With spirit, humor, class, and wit, Mame teaches her young nephew Patrick to savor every moment of life. Jerry Herman’s celebrated score includes the rousing title number, plus “Open a New Window,” “If He Walked into My Life,” “We Need a Little Christmas,” “Bosom Buddies,” and “That’s How Young I Feel.”
