Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s legendary 1956 non-musical comedy masterpiece 'Auntie Mame' became a staggering commercial phenomenon at the Broadhurst Theatre and ran for 639 performances. Based on the celebrated satirical novel by Patrick Dennis, the episodic narrative charts the colorful, free-spirited, and boundary-pushing life of Mame Dennis, an eccentric Greenwich Village socialite who inherits her orphaned nephew and vows to rescue him from a conservative bourgeois upbringing by exposing him to a wild lifestyle. Directed by Morton DaCosta, the original production famously launched Rosalind Russell into stage immortality with a career-defining performance as Mame.
