This zany musical follows the mad-cap adventures of chorus girl Lorelei Lee, a role made famous on Broadway by Carol Channing in 1949 and on screen by Marilyn Monroe in the 1950's. Set in the roaring '20's, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes tells the story of a fun-loving and hedonistic gold-digger Lorelei Lee and her sail aboard the Ile de France to Paris with her chum Dorothy Shaw. 
 

The score is packed with lively, chipper melodies neatly evoking the fancy-free age of the late twenties.  Tuneful melodies like "A Little Girl From Little Rock", "I Love What I'm Doing", "Just A Kiss Apart", "Bye Bye Baby", "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "I'm A Tingle, I'm Aglow" and, of course, "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"  are just a few of the gems from  the collaboration of Jule Styne (Gypsy, Funny Girl, Sugar) and lyricist Leo Robin (Lorelei).
