Irving Berlin and Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse’s 'Call Me Madam' is a brilliant, champagne-flavored political musical satire that stands as a definitive milestone of the post-war Broadway stage, running for 644 performances. Opening at the Imperial Theatre in 1950, the sharp plot centers on Sally Adams, a wealthy, flamboyant, and unvarnished Oklahoma socialite who is appointed as the United States Ambassador to the tiny, impoverished European grand duchy of Lichtenburg, collapsing into a romantic entanglement with a prime minister. Directed by George Abbott, the historic original production was a legendary vehicle for Ethel Merman in her Tony-winning performance alongside Paul Lukas.
