Perhaps best known for
Torvill and Dean winning gold whilst ice-skating to the overture from the original cast album, the show itself achieved multiple Tony Award nominations and has become popular the world over.
The great Hollywood comic director,
Mack Sennett, reminisces about his career from the sound stage of the studios he once dominated. It is 1938, and the days of the silent film are over, effectively ending Sennett's career.
In a series of flashbacks, Sennett relates the glory days of the Keystone Studios from 1911, when he discovered
Mabel Normand, star of his early "two-reelers", through to his invention of the Bathing Beauties and
The Keystone Kops, and on to the end of his relationship with Mabel.
Mack & Mabel is a bitter sweet tale that includes many show tunes you didn't realise were from this musical; tunes you'll be humming for days. This really is a fun night out not to be missed!
