By: Gabrielle Sierra Feb. 10, 2010
Mitzi Gaynor's one-woman show, Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins comes to The Parker Playhouse, Sunday, March 28th.
Gaynor will bring her incomparable brand of showmanship to the stage in a glittering multimedia tour-de-force of music and memories from her show-stopping life and career. Interspersed with dazzling television & film footage and rare personal photos, embraced in a concert setting, this multimedia theatrical extravaganza is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the electrifying magic and incredible spirit of a true entertainment icon.
Along with a seven piece orchestra, Gaynor will perform a virtual songfest of signature musical hits from her film, television and nightclub catalog including There's No Business Like Show Business, Honey Bun and I Can Cook, Too. Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins is an intimate and affectionate love letter to that fun "razzle-dazzle" era of show business featuring Gaynor's often hilarious recollections of famous friends and costars including Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Ethel Merman, Marilyn Monroe, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Marlene Dietrich and more.
The legendary musical performer began her career at the age of twelve in the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera and transitioned from stage to screen at age nineteen with her first film role opposite Betty Grable in My Blue Heaven. She starred in seventeen motion pictures (earning a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Nellie Forbush in the acclaimed Rodgers and Hammerstein movie musical South Pacific) and nine network television specials (garnering seventeen Primetime Emmy nominations).
