After years paying her dues in B-movies, Lucille Ball won the public’s hearts and reigned supreme as television’s biggest star in I Love Lucy – one of the most popular sitcoms in American history. Wacky, fearless, and totally endearing, Lucy broke the mould for the way women were allowed to behave on screen.

Lucy was joined every step of the way by her real-life and on-screen husband Desi Arnaz, and together they held up a funhouse mirror to every marriage in America. But beneath the seemingly ditzy veneer of a 1950s housewife was an ambitious and savvy businesswoman whose success owed little to luck. As the producer of I Love Lucy once said, “Lucille Ball is about as different from Lucy Ricardo as anyone could possibly be.”

Everybody Loves Lucy is a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into a television icon. Brimming with Lucille Ball’s irrepressible spirit, acclaimed Australian musical theatre star Elise McCann(MAMMA MIA!, South Pacific) stars in this intimate cabaret tribute to a true trail-blazer.
