In "Diamond Lil," MAE WEST has her Bowery Queen tell the Salvation Army captain next door, "It's no sin to be handsome, is it?"
• • Here Darlene Violette as Diamond Lil faces off with the very handsome Captain Cummings, played by Anthony DiCarlo.
• • There was a full house on August 17th, and frequent applause when a scene ended. A lovely evening.

• • There are some seats left so tell your fun-loving friends about this special date!
• • All of the sex and none of the censorship . . . • •
• • The novel "Diamond Lil"
closely follows the 3-hour production Mae performed onstage from 1928 —
1951, and it is much more exciting than the family-friendly screen
version. Playwright LindaAnn Loschiavo massaged Mae's classic opus into
an 85-minute adaptation featuring all of the sex and none of the
censorship. No intermission.
• • There will be two stagings of "Diamond Lil" on August 17th and August 18th in NYC.

Starring Darlene Violette as Diamond Lil, Queen of the Bowery and also
featuring Sidney Myer, Anthony DiCarlo, Joanna Bonaro, Gary Napoli, Juan

Unlike many blogs, which draw
upon
reprinted
content
from
a
newspaper
or
a
magazine
and/

summaries,

the
mainstay
of
this
blog
is
its
fresh
material
focused
on
the
life
and
career
of
Mae
West,
herself
an
American
