An international hit makes its Arizona premiere when multi-talented Hershey Felder kicks off our season with
his widely-acclaimed musical play. Evoking Gershwin’s
famous radio broadcasts of the 1930s, George Gershwin
Alone explores the life, talent and spirit of the legendary
composer – from his early days as an audacious Tin Pan
Alley novice, to his breakthrough success with Rhapsody
in Blue, to fame and fortune as a songwriter during the
glamorous era of the 1930s Broadway and Hollywood, and finally
to the deeply felt social consciousness if masterpieces like Porgy and Bess. A Steinway Concert Artist, actor
and playwright, Hershey Felder is the only individual to whom
the Gershwin heirs have granted permission to create the role
of George Gershwin on stage.
