Sugar Babies
by Ralph G Allen, Harry Rigby
What readers are saying
Readers find that this play lacks a cohesive story and narrative structure. While it might offer interesting elements for production, many critique its overall plot development and engagement.
Synopsis
Sugar Babies is a riotously funny, nostalgic trip for those who remember burlesque and a happy discovery for those too young to recall this irreverent form of American entertainment.
All of the classic scenes, including a hilarious dog act are here, along with such wonderful songs as "Exactly Like You", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby" and "Don't Blame Me."
On Broadway Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller starred.
Press Reviews

— WCBS TV2
"A sizable Broadway hit and a homage to a classical American theatrical form."
— The New York Post
