An evening of songs by
great composers, including
Irving Berlin, George Cohan,
and George Gershwin
Created by Michael Bush, Michael Aman, and Joel Silberman
"My whole point is that the songs from the
American musical theatre
defined us as Americans
to
the rest of the world in a time period
when the definition of Americans was cloudy."
"I have been teaching History of the American Musical Theatre for the last eight years at Brooklyn College in New York City. In those eight years I began to realize how this most American of theatrical forms, the musical, and its songs actually defined us to the rest of the world during the early years of the 20th century, before talking pictures and television. I contemplated writing a book, but decided to create a show instead, and the result is Let Me Sing. With choreography by Randy Skinner (Broadway’s Tony Award-winning 42nd Street) and under my direction, Let Me Sing features more than 30 classic songs such as 'Alexander’s Ragtime Band,' 'Look for the Silver Lining,' and 'A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody.' The show not only traces the history of the art form but also explores how it defined the American character and spirit."
FROM THE WEBMASTER:
It has come to my attention that there was an inappropriate photo on this page in January.
I don't know where the photo came from—I certainly do not have pictures like that on my hard drive.
My best guess is that someone temporarily hacked into my domain.
I apologize sincerely to anyone who saw the offensive photograph.
