Welcome! They have no idea that a certain Ethel will open the door.
With some dazzling parody music and original songs, laughter ensues throughout The Book of Merman as it takes you beyond parody and into a sweet story of self-awareness and acceptance, catapulting you to place you didn't know you wanted to go. Starring Amy Jo Halliday as Ethel Merman.
