	Mack & Mabel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mack and Mabel is a Broadway musical play.
		The plot has as its origin the tumultuous relationship between Hollywood director Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand, a waitress from Flatbush, Brooklyn, who became one of his biggest stars.
		In a series of flashbacks, Sennett relates the glory days of the Keystone Studios from 1911, when he discovered Normand and cast her in dozens of his early "two-reelers", through his invention of Sennett's Bathing Beauties and the Keystone Cops to Mabel's death from a heroin overdose in 1930.

	Broadway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Mack and Mabel opened on Broadway on 6 October 1974 and had an incredibly short run due to a range of circumstances that only show business can interpret.
		Casting the role of Mabel received much attention from the press: actress Penny Fuller, a Tony nominee for her performance as the sly, manipulative Eve in Applause (a musicalization of the Oscar-winning film All About Eve) was originally mentioned for the part.
		A concert version of Mack and Mabel was staged in London on 21 February 1988.

	Review of "Mack and Mabel"
		The Mack of the title is film comedy pioneer Mack Sennet, and Mabel is his leading comedienne, Mabel Normand.
		I can see why "Mack and Mabel" still packs 'em in - it is in the same style as Herman's other popular shows, but this is one you haven't seen a hundred times already.
		Sure enough, Mabel gets greeted several times over by the entire cast in the number "When Mabel Walks in the Room" when she makes a triumphant return to Keystone Studios after a four year absence occasioned by a romantic falling out with Sennet.

	Edinburgh Guide Theatre review - Mack And Mabel - Watermill Theatre Production
		The setting of Jerry Herman’s musical Mack and Mabel is the Silent Movie era in New York and Hollywood, relating the true love story of two great legends, director Mack Sennett, creator of the Keystone Cops, and his protégée, the film star, Mabel Normand.
		Mabel has fallen deeply in love and on the train to LA she gently seduces him.
		The relationship between Mack and Mabel, on and off screen, is a dark and tragic story of unrequited love, rejection, jealousy, passion and scandal.

	Hernando: It's easy to love Richey Suncoast's 'Mack and Mabel'
		Mabel is indeed a hit in Mack's two-reelers, prompting movie producers Kleiman (Patrick Curran) and Fox (Justin Sargent) to invite the pair, plus their pal Fatty Arbuckle (Drew Lundquist), to Hollywood to make feature-length films.
		Mack's forte, however, is two-reelers with lots of physical comedy -- Keystone Kops, Charlie Chaplin stuff -- and he denigrates Mabel's yearning to be a serious actress.
		Mabel is encouraged, though, by her pal Frank (Don Edmiston), a fledgling screenwriter, who pens a show named Molly just for her.

		Mabel, prodded by the writer Frank, decides that her integrity as an artist is being compromised.
		Mack feels threatened, but instead of telling Mabel the truth - that he's jealous - he attacks her until she has no choice but to walk out (Wherever he ain't).
		By the time Mack realises he's lost her again, the despairing Mabel has gone back to Taylor and is about to sail for Europe.

	Watermill - Mack and Mabel
		That gone-to-seed character is Mack Sennett, the legendary director and sometime lover of Herman’s heroine, the actress Mabel Normand.
		Mack Sennet and Mabel Normand have a tempestuous love-hate relationship, but the mismatch of their ambitions drives them apart.
		David Soul, as Mack, was convincing with his self-centredness, gradually being won over by Mabel’s charms, but the night I went he was having a little trouble remembering the words which slowed the pace down.

		As Mack and Mabel came into New York in 1974, the Broadway they were accustomed to was unrecognizable.
		Mack and Mabel — a book musical with a fresh, upbeat and un-apologetically Broadway score — must have looked out of place and old-fashioned by comparison.
		The book musical is a resilient art form and I suspect Mack and Mabel will be performed long after most concept musicals have been forgotten, a testament to Herman’s unwavering faith in, and talent with, the art form he’s championed for so many years.

	Metroactive Stage \| Mack & Mabel
		But as a vehicle to tell the story of silent-film director Mack Sennett and his starlet/lover Mabel Normand, the show leaves a lot to be desired.
		Still, Mack and Mabel is a fun look at Hollywood's "Golden Age," but if its tarnished underbelly is going to be allowed to show, it shouldn't be glossed over but played for maximum dramatic impact.
		Mack and Mabel plays Wednesday--Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2:30pm through Sept. 29 at the Lucie Stern Theater, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.

		Although she is his mistress until 1920, Mabel leaves him for the "serious" director W.D. Taylor, who not only values her acting, but also treats her with kindness and consideration as well.

	Bursting with Song--Review of Mack & Mabel
		In 1938, Mack Sennett reminisces about the era of silent movies, starting in 1911, when deli delivery girl Mabel Normand shows off considerable comedic potential when she tries to get money for the sandwich she's delivered to Lottie, the actress Mack is filming.
		Mack immediately puts her in the movies, and Mabel's two-reel comedies prove to be very popular.
		Years later, Mabel returns to Mack when he promises to put her in a serious film, but her movie ends up "exploding" with Keystone Kops, and she returns to Taylor.

	Amazon.com: Mack & Mabel (1974 Original Broadway Cast): Music: Jerry Herman,Bernadette Peters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The delightful pairing of Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters headlines the 1974 cast of Mack and Mabel.
		As the tough, single-minded Mack Sennett, Robert Preston doesn't have many oppurtunities to display the legendary bravado of Harold Hill and other performances, and he is unfortunately saddled with several of the weaker songs in the score, but he scores mightily with the haunting "I Won't Send Roses" and remains as memorable as ever throughout.
		Though "Mack and Mabel" did not survive long on Broadway, and apparently may never survive for long everywhere because of its flaws as a show, it is our great fortune that it left behind this wonderful cast recording, allowing us to treasure Jerry Herman's score and this cast's performances for many years to come.

	Jere-Rigged: Mack, Mabel, And Donna
		The story is still a fictionalized version of the story of early film pioneer Mack Sennett and his relationship with Mabel Normand, one of the biggest female stars of early Hollywood.
		And here, as Mabel, she proved why that is the case.
		Many of the changes, notably the inclusion of an affair for Mack and having an already established character sing lead on a very "Mame"-like song called "When Mabel Walks In The Room," work wonderfully and are improvements.

	Review of Mack And Mabel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Caroline O'Connor is a delight as Mabel Normand, both when relishing fame and fortune and when suffering their attendant curses.
		Granted, most of Mack's numbers are belters, but more often than not McGillin exceeds the limits of reasonable force; it would not be surprising if some of his show-stopping climaxes can already be heard in Shaftesbury Avenue, ninety miles away.
		When even his beloved Mabel takes second place in this account, there is little more than a distinctly supporting role for the other principals, foremost amongst whom are Kathryn Evans' Lottie (also a little too ready to turn her controls up to 11) and a perfectly cast Philip Herbert as Fatty Arbuckle.

		I wash with Mabel's Milk and Honey Complexion Soap, which has Normand's face emblazoned on its label and is available from silentsoaps.com.
		Mack & Mabel's book (always cited as the main reason the show flopped on Broadway) has been utterly, and clumsily overhauled.
		As the titular lovers, Scott Waara is atypically towheaded and boyish for a role originally played on Broadway by the craggy, barking Robert Preston (Mack Sennett himself resembled a rabid horse), while Christiane Noll is simply a stunning Mabel, alternately outrageous and vulnerable, earthy and glamorous, just like the original.

		Soul plays filmmaker Mack Sennett, who left the indelible marks of not only the Keystone Kops but also the failed property development name that partly fell down, leaving the Hollywood sign as the most famous landmark in Los Angeles.
		Mabel Normand (Lee) was slinging hash in a diner when Sennett found her and turned her into one of the biggest comedy stars of the silent era.
		The energetic cast gives full measure, and Lee is a delight as Mabel both in her comedy sketches and her singing.
