All Hands on Deck! Tickets on Sale Now for Broadway Premiere of Dames at Sea

Tickets are now available for the first-ever Broadway production of Dames at Sea. Performances will begin on September 24 at the Helen Hayes Theatre, where it will open officially on October 22. Three-time Tony nominee Randy Skinner will direct. No word yet on casting.

Dames at Sea tells the story of Ruby, who steps off a bus from Utah and into her first Broadway show. But hours before the opening night curtain is set to rise, the cast learns that their theater is being demolished. With the help of some adoring sailors, Ruby and the cast set a plan in motion to perform the show in a naval battleship.

The musical, which features music by Jim Wise and a book and lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller, first opened at the Bouwerie Lane Theatre in 1968 in a production starring Bernadette Peters, then transferred to the Theater de Lys (now the Lucille Lortel Theatre) in 1969, where it played for 575 performances.
