Written and Performed by Amy Lamé
Directed by Christine Harmar-Brown
Amy Lamé was a chubby child star in a 60's cover band.
Touring with her dysfunctional siblings she had everything she ever wanted - fame, fortune and sandwiches.
She lived the American dream until it turned around and bit her on the ass. With acid-tongued wit and shocking revelation,
Amy peels away the layers of her obscure past: Why were four fat kids made to sing? How did her family get so messed up?
Did Mama Cass really die choking on a ham sandwich? A surreal collision of fantasy and fact, Amy Lamé's Mama Cass Family Singers
is a tragi-comic misremembered memoir. The show features Amy's own family in brilliantly off-the-wall interviews alongside timeless
tunes of the legendary Mamas and the Papas.
The show debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006, produced by the
Soho Theatre in association with the Gilded Balloon. Amy then enjoyed a
successful run at London's Soho Theatre.
