THE SHOW: The story of Belle Poitrine's ascent from the wrong side of the railroad tracks in Venezuela, Illinois to the exquisite luxury of Southampton, Long Island.

Belle meets high-born Noble Eggleston. He cannot marry her because she does not have "wealth, culture and social position." She achieves these goals through her association with seven men, some of whom help her progress by being taken dead at opportune moments. Little Me features a dazzling score by Broadway heavy weights Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh and a witty dizzying book by Neil Simon.

All Star Productions are delighted to present the first London Revival of Little Me in over 20 years, in the intimate surroundings of Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre, whom over the past two years have established a reputation for presenting revivals of rare often neglected works and UK Premieres.
