Synopsis
There's a special quality in this most amusing of Max Shulman's comedies about young people and college complications. Helen, whom Dobie adores and reveres "above Helen of Troy," is going steady with Petey Bellows. "Petey thinks," according to Dobie, "that just because he's captain of the football team, president of the student council, a three-letter man and editor-in-chief of the School Echo, he is somebody." Unfortunately, Helen agrees! Through three breathless, hilarious acts, Dobie pursues Helen—and he does catch up!

Customer Reviews
- "Our students really enjoyed performing "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." The humor still resonates with high schoolers. We had a very simple set which was wonderful due to our small drama budget. Costumes were mostly what the students normally wear except for the Homecoming scene and the adult characters. Again this was helpful to our limited funding."
