Got Rhythm. The Gershwin Brothers
March 24 at Feinstein's/54 Below - BUY TICKETS

George and Ira are one of songwriting's most successful sibling partnerships. They wrote at their kitchen table into the wee hours of the dawning Jazz Age, and their home was the hub for Broadway glitterati. George and Fred Astaire met as hustling showbiz teenagers. Ethel Merman-a secretary in Queens-joined the family when the brothers gave her her first Broadway job. Harold Arlen, Yip Harburg and other pals all came a-calling. For Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley, the Gershwin songbook is among the most recorded in history. From "Fascinatin' Rhythm" to "Embraceable You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me," this show takes a joyful look at what happens when families are hotbeds of harmony. Featuring Klea Blackhurst, George Dvorsky, Nicolas King, and Rebecca Luker.
