By Jerry H. Bloom, Staff Writer Onstage • The Merriam Theater, in Philadelphia, presents the national tour of I Love Lucy® Live On Stage, the brand-new hit stage show adapted from the most beloved program in television history, December 26 - 29. The show takes the audience back to 1952 as members of the Desilu Playhouse studio audience where they await the filming of two familiar episodes, The Benefit, and Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined. A host entertains and enlightens the crowd to the behind-the-scenes filming process of a brand new thing called television, the Crystaltone Singers perform advertising jingles in perfect 50s style harmony, and the antics of Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel are live on stage and in color. For tickets ($25 to $75) or info, call 215-731-3333 or visit www.kimmelcenter.org/broadway.
