Event Details
Join us for Lucy!, a solo musical performed by Jilliann Gabrielle of Paradise Playhouse, showcasing Lucille Ball's incredible life. Lucille, the most famous American comedienne, was also an actress, singer, producer, and the first female head of a major Hollywood studio, Desilu.
She and her husband, Desi Arnaz, created the first American sitcom, I Love Lucy, which ran for six years on CBS. They later produced and starred in the Lucy—Desi Comedy Hour. After their divorce, Lucille found success in solo projects on TV and film.
Lucy! traces her journey from a challenging childhood in upstate New York to Hollywood, her passionate marriage to Desi, her reign as Queen of the Bs, and her successful second marriage to Gary Morton.
Exhaustively researched, brilliantly written, and radiantly performed, this musical offers an intimate look into Lucy's mind and emotions, her struggles, and her triumphs.
