By: BWW News Desk Jul. 25, 2012

Irving Berlin's CALL ME MADAM is now playing at the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, through July 28. Starring Broadway darling Beth Leavel (Mrs. Sally Adams), this golden age treasure is inspired by Oklahoma City's own international socialite and ambassador Perle Mesta. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos and opening night cast party below.

The production features the talents of Broadway veterans Steve Blanchard, Jeremy Benton, and Adam Heller as Cosmo Constantine, Kenneth Gibson, and Congressman Wilkins respectively.

Inspired by Oklahoma City’s own international socialite and ambassador, Perle Mesta, this musical comedy is full of Irving Berlin tunes you love, like “Hostess with the Mostes” and “You’re Just in Love.” This golden age treasure is directed by Lyric's Artistic Director Michael Baron, director of Lyric's 2011 production of RAGTIME.

Get tickets to all three today by calling the box office at (405) 524-9312 or by visiting LyricTheatreOKC.com.
