IN THE POORMAN CABARET
It's Friday night, March 2, 1960, and Vivian Vance is about to turn herself into Ethel Mertz, America's most beloved neighbor, for the very last time. After years of playing Ethel Mertz, the housecoat-wearing sidekick to America's favorite sit-com star on I Love Lucy, Vivian Vance has a lot she needs to get off her chest. In her dressing room on the night of the show's final filming, she issues an SOS to her long-time analyst: "help me understand who I really am before I'm stuck being Ethel forever." And she relives it all: the Good, the Bad, and the Lucy. A powerful "One-Broad" comedy about the Ethel Mertz you never knew!
