Dames At Sea
Book and Lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller, Music by Jim Wise
Oct. 10-13, 1985
Directed and Choreographed by Jack Dyville
Ruby, a talented dancer from Utah finds herself as a chorus member in a Broadway musical rehearsal. Mona Kent is the show’s diva star. Joan is a wise-cracking chorus girl, and Hennesy the producer/manager. Ruby faints into the arms of Dick, a sailor and aspiring song writer ("It's You"). Hennesy informs the cast that the theater must be torn down, and they must find another place for the show. Joan and Lucky, another sailor and her former boyfriend, renew their romance while Ruby admits her feelings for Dick ("The Sailor of My Dreams"). Dick and Lucky persuade their Captain to volunteer the use of their ship. Mona recognizes the Captain as a former boyfriend. When Mona kisses Dick, to persuade him to give her one of his songs, Ruby sees and is despondent ("Raining In My Heart"). They eventually make up. Mona becomes sea sick during rehearsal. Ruby steps in to save the show and becomes a star. The three couples decide to marry ("Let's Have A Simple Wedding").
