We found a book about that RED HOT MAMA!

Todd C. Gordon, musical director for Sophie Tucker: The Last of the Red Hot Mamas, was browsing through a used bookstore the other day in an attempt to find Sophie Tucker’s out of print autobiography. What he ended up finding was a true gem! The 1945 copy he found of Some of These Days was signed by the one and only Sophie Tucker herself! From the front cover, you can tell it has clearly been flipped through: this spicy mama was definitely someone worth reading about! Director Kate Warner, Todd C. Gordon, and Mary Callanan (our Sophie Tucker) are currently switching off reading this book to find out the inner workings of the Mama from her own point of view.

Rehearsals for Sophie Tucker start on Tuesday, so check back for updates and design concepts for the show next week! In the meantime check out our interview with Mary Callanan and Sophie Tucker Production Notes.

Sophie Tucker: The Last of the Red Hot Mamas runs from June 24 - July 11, 2010. Tickets are on sale now online and at the Box Office - (617) 923-8487.
