Photo Flash: First Look At Pittsburgh CLO's THE BOOK OF MERMAN

By:

Pittsburgh CLO's exclusive engagement of the hit musical comedy THE BOOK OF MERMAN, part of the Pittsburgh CLO Kara Cabaret Series at the Greer Cabaret Theater, runs January 30 - March 8, 2020. Don't miss this incredibly original hit fresh from its side-splitting Off-Broadway run!

Two Mormon missionaries ring the doorbell of Ethel Merman and hilarity ensues in this new musical comedy. This diva-driven whirlwind features original songs and show-stopping ballads, combining one of Broadway's smash hits with the larger-than-life persona of the legendary belter Ethel Merman. Mistaking the two young men for door-to-door salesmen, Ethel welcomes the missionaries in after their frustrating day of canvassing the neighborhood for prospective converts. The result - a hilariously heartfelt journey about being true to oneself, as both the Mormons and Merman come to embrace who they really are.
