Little Me
Opening Night: February 5, 2014
Closing: February 9, 2014
Theater: New York City Center
Little Me, Neil Simon’s first musical, is a brash, fast and furious comedy about the glamorous Belle Poitrine and her six suitors. Tony Award winner and Smash star Christian Borle will take on the multiple roles of Belle’s husbands and lovers—an assortment of oddballs ranging from an innocent college boy to a lecherous octogenarian. Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh’s high-energy score includes "I’ve Got Your Number," "Real Live Girl," and "The Other Side of the Tracks."

If it is possible to leer sweetly, then that’s what they’re doing this weekend at City Center, where a likable if long-winded production of Little Me is running through Sunday. The Encores! concert revival of this 1962 musical manages to wipe the smirk off the face of a show about the rise and rise of a woman whose greatest assets are her mammary glands. Her name? Belle Poitrine, a handle guaranteed to elicit snickers among those who have beginners’ French under their belts. But as charmingly incarnated here by Rachel York, as the dewy younger version, and Judy Kaye, as the worldly older creature she becomes, Belle has a straight-ahead sincerity that makes her pretty much impervious to prurience.
