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. Great Tunes & Custard Pies - HOPE YOU DIDN'T MISS
IT !!!
