REX REED’S
“THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY: IRA WITHOUT GEORGE”
Saturday, November 13, 2010
8pm
This Big Apple hit, created and narrated by renowned critic Rex Reed, features exuberant storytelling and a great pop-jazz quintet of stars: Tom Wopat, Kurt Reichenbach, Linda Purl, Sally Mayes, and special guest Marilyn Maye. The evening follows the life of lyricist Ira Gershwin, George's older brother — from childhood through his first song-writing projects, the tragic death of George, and the following decades of phenomenal lyric output. You’ll love these Ira Gershwin collaborations with songwriters Harold Arlen (A STAR IS BORN); Kurt Weill (LADY BE GOOD); and Jerome Kern (COVER GIRL).
