This soulful play takes you back to early 1900s New York City- a creative melding of different cultures that created our distinctive "American Songbook." George Gershwin himself, joined by three stunning singers and a fantastic band, reveals the folk songs, blues, jazz, Yiddish theatre, cantor chants, and opera that fused into songs like "I Got Rhythm" and "Embraceable You."

The Soul of Gershwin: The Musical Journey of an American Klezmer Reviews
Talkin Broadway - Recommended
"...Peter Moore, as director, is also an alumnus of past productions of The Soul of Gershwin. He knows the territory well, and moves his performers smoothly about the space—a stage and mezzanine surrounding the Klezmerica band—well to maintain visual interest and seamless transitions. The cast is dressed to reflect the formal glamour of Gershwin's heyday, with a golden shawl for Ms. Burton that suggests a cantor's ceremonial garb."
