DIRTY BLONDE at Coachella Valley Repertory

Tony® Award-winning actress CADY HUFFMAN (THE PRODUCERS/Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES/Tony nomination) will star as American cultural icon Mae West in Coachella Valley Repertory’s new production of DIRTY BLONDE. When DIRTY BLONDE opened on Broadway in 2000, it collected four Tony nominations, winning for Best Play. DIRTY BLONDE is as unlikely, outrageous, and as fascinating as the indomitable Mae West herself. The iconic star, who remains one of the most talked about (and oft emulated) Hollywood figures, is the catalyst in this “Rolls-Royce of a vehicle” (NY Times). Her ‘dirty blonde to platinum’ career inspires two lonely young fans who see her as their hero and lifeline. As it will be with all things Mae West, this leads to a fresh, budding, funny and sometimes bizarre romance.
