I LOVE LUCY SUPERSTAR SPECIAL, a new one-hour special featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the 1950s series, will be broadcast Sunday, May 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

When I was growing up, I Love Lucy was a morning television staple, even though it had been off the air for many years. Reality shows have since replaced pretty much all of the stuff I grew up on, at least on the major networks, but you can still find the re-runs on stations like Me TV, which cater to the boomer generation with their lineup of classic programs. If you were lucky enough to be at the Peabody Opera House this weekend (April 17-19, 2015), you had the opportunity to see a recreation of two episodes of this iconic show with their presentation of I LOVE LUCY LIVE ON STAGE. This touring production is one you should definitely check out if you're into nostalgia, or just need a good laugh.

From 1951-1957 and beyond, the 'I Love Lucy' show captured the hearts of Americans each week with side-splitting laughter and a star that couldn't shine brighter - Lucille Ball. With husband and co-start Desi Arnaz, former vaudeville stars Vivian Vance and William Frawley, the black-and-white TV show shot straight to the top and has remained in the hearts of audiences even up to today. Now the Curran Theatre presents I Love Lucy Live on Stage as a tribute to that iconic show and the redhead that made it all happen. Playing now through November 23, this valentine to Lucy and Desi fans is a must see for all ages.

I LOVE LUCY Live On Stage delivers, in full color and 3 dimensions, a nostalgic interactive experience of old-fashioned television magic, at the Hippodrome through October 26.

No one can duplicate the brilliance of Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance, Desi Arnaz and William Frawley, the original stars of I Love Lucy on CBS from 1951-1957; they are irreplaceable. But...oh what fun it is to see what they did and a glimmer of how they did it at the Desilu Studio in 1952 as presented by Rick Sparks in 'I Love Lucy' Live on Stage now at the Greenway Court Theatre. Like the setup of last year's runaway stage hit Hoboken to Hollywood, the audience is the live audience for the taping, in Lucy's case - filming - with announcer, jingle singers and commercial actors all gearing up to put on a show in between actual takes of filming the episodes. This is a very entertaining evening thanks to the entire cast and crew whose merry mood/antics throughout create more than ample sparks.
