George Gershwin, arguably "America's Mozart," died suddenly of a brain tumor at the age of 38, never knowing if his work would live on. With Hershey Felder's George Gershwin Alone, you will experience the bittersweet irony of Mr. Gershwin's interior life, while reveling in the wonder of his music. The production has dazzled audiences across America, including on Broadway, and in London's West End.

George Gershwin Alone recreates the more important moments in the composer's life telling the story behind the composition of his most famous works. This musical treat is a summer party at the Geffen, with all of us gathered around the piano singing the Gershwins' greatest songs.
