From the 2012-2013 Season: A singing and dancing extravaganza, featuring over 42 songs by the beloved Gershwin Brothers, including “Someone to Watch Over Me," “I’ve Got Rhythm," “Embraceable You," “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off," “Our Love is Here to Stay” and more. The melodies flow through five mini-musicals inspired by stories of young love, beginning in 1920s New York City, moving to Paris in the 1930s, Hollywood in the ‘40s, New Orleans in the 1950s and ending in the present day. ‘SWONDERFUL takes you on a nostalgic ride that has been called “a gem for Gershwin lovers, young and old.”
The running time of the production is approximately 2 hours, including intermission.
