Patricia Kelly Presents GENE KELLY: THE LEGACY Tonight

Historian and executor of the Gene Kelly Estate, Patricia Ward Kelly, will present her fascinating solo show Gene Kelly: THE LEGACY tonight, June 1, at Chapman University's Memorial Hall in Orange County, CA - an encore presentation of the two sold-out shows Kelly introduced at the Academy Of Motion Pictures at Lincoln Center in NYC last July.

The press release for the show is as follows:

"Gene Kelly: THE LEGACY PLAYING FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY IN ORANGE COUNTY, CA ON JUNE 1, 2013 AT 7PM

ON JUNE 1, 2013 AT 7PM AT CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY'S MEMORIAL HALL, Mrs. Gene Kelly (Patricia Ward Kelly) who is also a professional biographer and film historian, will take the audience behind the scenes and share an intimate story of her late husband Gene Kelly, the man who helped create some of the most memorable scenes in film history. This unique, all-new and never before seen LIVE performance-praised as "a real treat" by Variety-combines rare and familiar film clips, never released audio recordings, memorabilia, and personal insights culled from hundreds of hours of interviews with her husband. Mrs. Kelly, whose presentation has been described as "mesmerizing," reveals a very personal side of this American legend and his perspective on the innovative work for which he wished to be remembered.

The mission of Gene Kelly: THE LEGACY is to continue to inspire the next generation of artists, filmmakers, dancers, choreographers, and musicians.

General admission tickets are $35 (30% discounted tickets for children and students are available). VIP tickets, which includes a VIP reception and General Admission, are $99.
