Mack & Mabel
Mack is a film creator and director in the early years of movie-making in America. He is loyal to the genre of the silent comedy, even though the films of his time were mostly tear-producing dramas or loud, showy movies. He meets Mabel in the deli where she works, and he turns her into a star of the screen. In her debut film, the now-conventional gesture of pie-throwing is seen for the first time. They also become romantically involved in the process. Mabel desires to become more than a silent comic actress, so she soon runs off with another filmmaker, who will cast her in the roles that she now desires.
Much later, Mack and Mabel reunite, but she leaves again as she learns that Mack will never give up his love for silent comedies. There is no happy ending in this musical, as Mack and Mabel do not come together in a final, teary scene.

Mack & Mabel Trivia

You may know the Overture from its use in 1982, when British ice-skating team Torvill and Dean won the gold medal for ice dance in the World Figure Skating Championships. The event was broadcast by BBC Television, and the station was inundated with calls from viewers wanting to know where they could find the music. Demand was so great that the album was re-released in the UK, where it shot to #6 on the charts, unprecedented for a show album, especially one ten years old.

Take the time to preview a selection of songs from the show as performed at a Royal Variety Performance.
