Gigi
 
This September 12-15, join us as Only A Dim Image Dessert Theatre presents its inaugural performance in association with The Southern Theater.  See the sparkly Lerner and Loewe musical “Gigi” on this gorgeous stage, performed with a professional orchestra.  Our production aims to add an artistic and enchanting flair to this hidden gem of a musical on the dawn of the recently planned Broadway revival.
 
Based on Colette’s novel and the 1958 motion picture, GIGI transports us to the elegant atmosphere of Paris in 1902.  The show centers on the beautiful romance between Gigi, a free-spirited, teenage Parisian who is being brought up to be a courtesan in her family’s tradition, and Gaston Lachailles, one of the most notorious playboys in Paris.  While Gaston sees Gigi as nothing but a child, playing cards with her and bringing her caramels, he soon realizes that Gigi has become a lovely and captivating young woman who has her own ideas regarding love.  The show includes the songs, “Thank Heaven for Little Girls,” “The Night They Invented Champagne,” and many more!
