Photo Coverage: Delta Burke Meets The 'Real' Magnolias

STEEL MAGNOLIAS opened on Broadway on April 4 starring Delta Burke as Truvy, Christine Ebersole as M'Lynn, Rebecca Gayheart as Shelby, Marsha Mason as Ouiser, Lily Rabe as Annelle and Frances Sternhagen as Clairee.

Written by Robert Harling and Directed by Jason Moore, STEEL MAGNOLIAS follows the lives of six indomitable Southern women as they share their personal triumphs, tragedies, beauty tips, recipes, and more than the occasional piece of scandalous gossip in Truvy's beauty shop in Chinquapin, Louisiana.

and welcome her with Southern Hospitality

After talking with the group, Delta took pen
to hand and signed autographs on everything
from jean jackets....




...to Playbills, of course!
