Gershwin a Win

After the success of the show Rachmaninoff and the Tsar, actor Hershey Felder was back in our Eden by the Beach with his entertaining work George Gershwin Alone directed by Joel Zwick at the Ensemble Theatre Company’s New Vic.

The show, which had sold-out runs from London to Broadway to Los Angeles, was retired by Felder ten years ago, but had five performances here on the life and legend of the legendary composer with works like “Porgy and Bess” and “Rhapsody in Blue” with more than 20 of his time honored tunes, including “I Got Rhythm,” “Summertime,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

It was a unique blend of storytelling, live performance and theatrical magic.
