Vicki Lawrence and “Mama” Make Their Return to the Suncoast Showroom October 11 and 12

Dynamic performer Vicki Lawrence returns to the Suncoast Showroom with her most beloved character in “Vicki Lawrence and ‘Mama’: A Two Woman Show,” October 11 and 12.

As a senior in high school, Lawrence sent the legendary Carol Burnett a letter inviting Burnett to come see her performance in the local fire department’s “Miss Fireball Contest” and included a newspaper article mentioning their resemblance. Burnett, looking for an actress to play her sister in a new variety series, attended the event. The rest is television history. “The Carol Burnett Show” premiered in the fall of 1967 and Lawrence co-starred in the show for the next 11 years, earning one Emmy® Award and five Emmy® nominations.

In the years since the show’s ending, Lawrence guest-starred on many hit television series, including “Laverne & Shirley,” “Love Boat,” “Rosanne,” “Diagnosis Murder” and “Murder She Wrote.” Her TV series, “Mama’s Family” aired from 1983 to 1990. Lawrence also appeared in a recurring role as “Mawmaw Ruthie Stewart” on Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana.”

Lawrence’s talents expand beyond acting to singing and writing; she recorded the #1 hit song “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” and has co-authored two books.

Showtime each evening is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.636.7075, or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
