MACK & MABEL, famed silent film director Mack Sennett reflects on his artistic legacy – his Bathing Beauties, the Keystone Cops, and of course, Mabel Normand, the waitress from Flatbush that he turned into a movie star. Set against the backdrop of the early days of cinema, this rarely seen musical gem depicts the bittersweet love story between two of film’s early icons. MACK & MABEL features one of the best scores from Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!, Mame, La Cage aux Folles) including the songs “I Won’t Send Roses,” “Time Heals Everything,” and “Tap Your Troubles Away.”
