Tallulah Who?
by William Rushton
adapted by Suzi Quatro and Shirlie Roden

The script pivots around Tallulah’s escapades as the toast of Broadway, the sensation of the London stage, and Hollywood’s society queen. The memorable music captures the feel of the age and the wild, wild living. You’ll be amazed how Tallulah did it, and to whom – and how often!
