Choose options
Rick Besoyan’s whimsical musical comedy satire 'Little Mary Sunshine' exploded onto the Off-Broadway stage at the historic Orpheum Theatre in 1959, running for an astonishing, record-breaking 1,143 performances and capturing the Vernon Rice Award. Conceived as a deliciously wicked, melody-infused pastiche parody of early 20th-century operettas like Rudolf Friml's *Rose-Marie*, the lighthearted plot unfolds inside a rustic inn in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, tracking a pure-hearted maiden and a dashing captain of the Forest Rangers as they navigate farcical complications with native chiefs and wealthy socialites, scored to a lighthearted acoustic orchestra.
