A show most distinguished for putting Bernadette Peters in the spotlight is getting a bigger spotlight of its own. The musical "Dames at Sea" started in a tiny café Off-Off-Broadway in 1966 and helped launch the career of a show business legend. Now the show itself is most definitely on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre in a production choreographed and directed by Randy Skinner.
New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood takes a gaze at this new production of an weak hit that pays tribute to an even older kind of entertainment — film musicals of the 1930s.
