I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Sitcom at The James Bridges Theater

How did Ricky and Lucy become the most famous TV couple of all time? L.A. Theatre Works has got some 'splainin to do. The onscreen pairing of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz is at the heart of one of the most popular TV shows in history, so who would have thought that to get on the air they had to battle both a network and a sponsor who thought the show couldn't possibly succeed? Sarah Drew (Grey's Anatomy) and Oscar Nunez (The Office) star in the audio drama I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom, which will be recorded live for later broadcast on NPR and satellite radio. Gregg Oppenheimer wrote and Michael Hackett directed this show at The James Bridges Theater.
