Mel Schwartz Sleeps With Mae West

Love, lust, ex-wives, and transgender role confusion collide in this zany musical comedy making its 
world premiere at Andrews Living Arts Theatre in Fort Lauderdale. Mel Schwartz Sleeps With Mae West is the story of a homophobic senior citizen living in Miami Beach in 1981 who is stunned to discover that his beautiful mistress of the past five years used to be a man! If that wasn’t enough, it turns out his transgender mistress is actually the long-lost child of his good friend, Milty. When Milty finds out that his son is now a daughter and that Mel’s been shtupping her, chaos ensues, as Milty becomes hellbent on killing him.
