Steel Magnolias (1987), a play by Robert Harling. [
Lucille Lortel Theatre, 1,126 perf.] Truvy ( Margo Martindale), whose motto is “there is no such thing as natural beauty,” runs a hairdressing salon in a small Southern town. Over the period of a few years, the lives of some of her clients are glimpsed with humor and sentiment: the cranky spinster Ouiser ( Mary Fogarty), the football‐loving gossiper Clairee ( Kate Wilkinson), the upper‐class mother M'Lynn ( Rosemary Prinz), and her diabetic daughter, Shelby ( Betsy Aidem), whose marriage, motherhood, and death frame the story. Described by Mel
Gussow in the
New York Times as “an amiable evening of sweet sympathies and small‐town chatter,” the comedy‐drama was a major Off‐Broadway hit and remains very popular in regional and community theatres.
