From the composer (Jerry Herman)  of La Cage Aux Folles, Hello Dolly, and Mame, Mack & Mabel is a cracking musical comedy with a fantastic score, lots of slapstick comedy, and the obligatory custard pie scene!

For just 4 performances MTS will bring you a story of love, glamour, and devastation with songs including Movies were Movies, Hit 'Em On The Head and Tap Your Troubles Away.

​

1920s Hollywood. The Era of Silent Comedies. Two People. One Tempestuous Romance.

​

A Musical about Movies - 'Mack and Mabel' is a company lead show about the birth of the movie industry which tells the real-life story of Director Mack Sennett and Deli-girl turned movie star Mabel Normand, their careers, their lives, and their difficult love-affair.

​

The story is told and lead by the company through song, slapstick, old-fashioned cop routines, glamorous bathing beauties and countless parodies of silent Hollywood Movies.
