This is a Hollywood saga in the era of silent film, a time "when the movies were movies": scene up on the story of legendary director Mack Sennett and his greatest star, the able and adorable Mabel Normand. Mack guides the audience through his tale of triumph and romance tinged with regret. Bankrupted by the talkies and forced to sell his studio, he reminisces about his colorful past, including his bittersweet love affair with Mabel, whom he had discovered and guided to stardom. The soaring Jerry Herman score is studded with gems, such as "Time Heals Everything," "I Won't Send Roses," "Wherever He Ain't" and "Look What Happened to Mabel."
