About Dames at Sea
When talented, young hopeful Ruby arrives in New York City with nothing but a pair of tap shoes in her suitcase, she is determined to break into show business. She stumbles into the cast of the troubled show “Dames at Sea.” Ruby seems to be in luck as she makes a friend in clever chorus girl Joan and falls in love with Dick, a singing sailor with songwriting ambitions. But things take a turn for the worse when the leading lady Mona sets her sights on Dick, and the broke and pessimistic producer Hennesey loses the theatre, which is promptly bulldozed out from under the cast and crew. Can Dick save the show by producing it on a battleship? Will Ruby go on stage a chorus girl but come back a star? You’ll find the answers in “Dames at Sea,” a light, bright, and hilariously tuneful homage to the glamorous and hopeful movie musicals of the 1930s. “Dames at Sea” received a Broadway revival in 2015.
