Dames at Sea

 Have dinner and a theatre at the Mahogany Grille starting at $25.00 for a 3 course meal!

Set sail for a hilarious journey back to the innocence of a bygone era in this high spirited spoof of the movie musical of the 1930s.

Voted ‘BEST MUSICAL’ by Time, Look, Newsweek, the Outer Critics Circle and the New York Post, Dames at Sea (which skyrocketed Bernadette Peters to stardom) tells the tale of a small town girl who dreams of making it big in show business. Her dreams come true as she leaps into stardom not on Broadway, but on the deck of a battleship! Loaded with lively music and dance, Dames at Sea, is brought to you by Merely Players, who produced last year's hit at The Hank,  Forever Plaid.

"A winner! A gem of a musical!"-- N.Y. Times.
