"What Menopause, The Musical is to menopausal women, Little Black Dress! will be to all women. Period." (Broadway World) Kicking off the Harris Center's 2019-20 Season of Performing Arts in a hilarious style, LBD! is a musical that celebrates those "firsts" that require a little black dress: first job interview, first date, first awkward sexual experience, first funeral.
Like the shopkeeper who helps Mom introduce a reluctant teenaged Dee and her best friend Mandy to a special article of clothing affectionately dubbed LBD, the original musical playing at the Straz Center's Jaeb Theatre, Little Black Dress is FABULOUS.
From Coco Chanel's 1926 Ford dress to Audrey Hepburn's in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' to Lady Di's revenge dress to Liz Hurley's jaw dropping Versace dress, the little black dress' (LBD) silhouette has changed over the years but like the many women who wear them, it's capacity for reinvention seems limitless. The LBD in every woman's wardrobe is the inspiration behind, LITTLE BLACK DRESS The Musical - a brand new production featuring an original script and score from the hilarious women of Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody. LITTLE BLACK DRESS The Musical brings the ultimate Girls' Night Out to the Times Union Center for the Performing Arts - Terry Theatre in Jacksonville for three performances June 25-27 (7:30 p.m. showtime). Tickets are now on sale.

Considered a comedy legend, she tells about her high and lows - on and off the scale - and shows audiences that the ability to laugh gets you through it all.
