Little Me <br />June 21-24, 2007 <br />The season opens June 21 - 24 with Little Me; a whopping, whirling musical burlesque and a wickedly funny satire of the celebrity autobiography - in this case, the memoirs of a queen of the silver screen, Belle Poitrine, a poor but buxom girl born on the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. The show expertly harnesses all the pleasing elements of musical comedy to trace the epic romance of low-born Belle Schlumpfert and high-born Noble Eggleston. In her quest for wealth and social position that will permit her marriage to Noble, the promiscuous actress embarks upon an extravagant artistic career while accompanied by a series of romantic admirers, all of whom are played by one actor. This Tony award winning musical whirlwind is directed by Summer Lyric Artistic Director B. Michael Howard and Ed Kresley, and choreographed by Ed Kresley. The score includes "Real Live Girl," "On the Other Side of the Tracks," "I've Got Your Number" and "Here's to Us."
