Mack and Mabel

Mack and Mabel is the story of Mack Sennet and Mabel Normand.
This is a fun musical with comedy and slapstick as its main theme
Mack is famous for his early Hollywood movies featuring Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and the Keystone Kops. Mabel starred in many of them and later became his wife.
The music is by Jerry Herman and will be familiar to those who watched Torvil and Dean;  songs such as " I Wont Send Roses", "Movies Were Movies", and "Time Heals Everything" will be easily recognized.
