"I LOVE LUCY"....DO YOU?

Cobb Energy Center March 13,14,& 15th

March 1, 2015
My daughter and I have enjoyed many hours together over the years watching old episodes of I LOVE LUCY®. Our favorite episode will always be when Lucy and Ethel worked in the candy factory. We must have seen that show at least 10 times, but it just keeps getting funnier each time! Lucy's crazy antics and hilarious personality have brought us countless shared laughs, so we were thrilled to hear that Gas South is bringing the I LOVE LUCY® LIVE ON STAGE to Cobb Energy Center on March 13,14& 15th!

I LOVE LUCY® LIVE ON STAGE
is the brand-new hit stage show adapted from the most beloved program in television history! America’s favorite foursome – Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel – is live on stage and in color for the very first time!
Production - LUCY 01.2

This is an “out-of-body experience for ‘Lucy’ fans” according to Showbiz Chicago. I LOVE LUCY® LIVE ON STAGE takes audience members back to 1952, as members of the Desilu Playhouse studio audience, where they await the filming of two hilarious and oh-so-familiar I LOVE LUCY® episodes, “The Benefit” and “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined.”

A charming host entertains and enlightens the crowd to the behind-the-scenes filming process of a brand new thing called “television,” the Crystaltone Singers perform advertising jingles in perfect 50s style harmony and the sidesplitting antics of America’s favorite foursome – Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel- has everyone rolling in the aisles! It’s a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience TV Guide’s William Keck calls “the most entertaining stage production I’ve seen in years – including Broadway!” 

The iconic hit sitcom I LOVE LUCY® originally aired on CBS from 1951 – 1957 for a total of six seasons and 179 episodes. It is widely considered to be one of the most popular programs in the history of television. Due in no small part to its relatable characters, sharp comedic writing and Lucille Ball’s signature zany charm, the show continues to endear new audiences with every passing generation.

The program was a technical trailblazer, pioneering the multi-camera shooting technique (still employed by the majority of traditional sitcoms to this day) and the use of 35mm film for the capture of a weekly, 30-minute scripted television program (which made possible the re-airing of episodes at a later date, what we now know as “reruns”).

In September 2012, I LOVE LUCY® was named the “Best TV Show Of All Time” and the “Greatest TV Comedy” by People Magazine and ABC’s "20/20" special "Best in TV: The Greatest TV Shows of Our Time."
