Sex at Hudson Theatre

Margy LaMont, an entrepreneur as well as a prostitute, is the most successful sex worker in Montreal. That city becomes too hot for her when a society matron attempts to frame her for a crime she did not commit. She heads for the Caribbean, and later for a swank enclave in New York. She acquires lovers along the way, including Gregg, an English naval officer who has some entrepreneurial ideas of his own; and Jimmy, a younger man who will be the heir to a fabulous fortune, who is smitten with her. Between the police, criminals, hypocritical high-society types, and two men who really love her, Margy has her arms full. Sometimes, sex is the answer. Sometimes, it's the question. What will Margy do? Sex debuted on Broadway in 1926, written, directed, produced by, and starring Mae West. The show was a box-office hit and was busted for obscenity; West served eight days in jail.
