Extended! Now through June 1, 2008 Sundays at 3 pm & 7 pm at The Other Space at Santa Monica Playhouse.
Jerry Mayer’s “heartfelt homage to two wonderfully courageous performers” (Drama-Logue). Marlene Dietrich and Maurice Chevalier were Paramount's biggest stars. They met in Hollywood in the 30’s and fell in lust, which turned into love and lasted two lifetimes. During World War II Dietrich entertained GIs at the front and became a hero, while Chevalier, in occupied France, sang, with Germans in his audience and was accused of collaboration and put on trial. The war had separated them; Chevalier¹s trial for treason brought them back together when Dietrich rushed to his side to help him. A fascinating, revealing, love story with 15 of their signature songs.
A return engagement of a much-loved, sold-out, Jerry Mayer musical with an new outstanding All-Star cast.
