The Board of Directors of the Manatee Players is pleased to announce their shows for 2009-10, a season for the entire family! From classics never performed by the Manatee Players, like HELLO, DOLLY! and GYPSY to perennial favorites such as ANNIE, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, NUNSENSE and CRAZY FOR YOU, you’re sure to find something you’ll love. The season will also include the recent Broadway hit, CURTAINS.

SUGAR BABIES
January 7-24, 2010
Conceived by Ralph G. Allen and Harry Rigby. Sketches by Ralph G. Allen based on traditional material.
Music by Jimmy McHugh.
Lyrics by Dorothy Fields and Al Dubin.
Additional Music and Lyrics by Arthur Malvin.
SUGAR BABIES is a riotously funny, nostalgic trip for those who remember burlesque and a happy discovery for those too young to recall this irreverent form of American entertainment. All of the classic vaudeville comedy sketches are here, along with such wonderful songs as "Exactly Like You", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby" and "Don't Blame Me."
"Brings it all back-- chorus girls, tap dancing, fan dancing, double and quadruple takes, fright wigs.... A big fat, old time hit.... SUGAR BABIES ... that's entertainment."—WCBS TV2
