You love Lucy, and so do we! In 1960, Lucille Ball, fresh off her enormous success on television with “I Love Lucy,” decided to conquer another medium: Broadway. The result was the musical Wildcat, with a score by Cy Coleman (Sweet Charity) and Carolyn Leigh (Little Me). It tells the story of Wildcat Jackson, a red-haired firecracker who travels to Centavo City, near the Mexican border, with one goal: to strike oil. The original production ran for 171 performances, and gave us the musical theater classic “Hey, Look Me Over!” A cast of Broadway veterans will be on hand to celebrate this underappreciated musical and its globally beloved star. The concert will be hosted and produced by Charles Kirsch, the host of theater podcast Backstage Babble, and musically directed by Michael Lavine.
