In what has been called “one of Hollywood’s most missed opportunities,” Mae West turned down Director Billy Wilder when he offered her the coveted role of Norma Desmond in the iconic film Sunset Boulevard. This play tells a fictionalized version of that story.
Local gay icon Jennifer McClain portrays the famous gay icon Mae West in this world premiere by Ronnie Larsen. Also starring recent Carbonell Winner Seth Trucks as the network executive sent to deliver West the script and getting more than he bargained for in more ways than one.
Britin Haller with Florida Theater on Stage says “So, if you’re like us and have always wanted to hear Jennifer McClain’s angelic pipes, here’s your chance. But be prepared to also be titillated, amused, and totally moved by the May-December “love story” between Mae West and her young conquest, John Gordon. Because this is no cougar robbing the cradle, this is a sweet, and, yes, tender romance that will make you think twice about preconceived notions.”
