Description: A penniless German Immigrant who grew up in Chicago, George Remus became a pharmacist, then a lawyer, and eventually moved to the Cincinnati/NKY region to become the most famous bootlegger of them all! He had government politicians in his pocket, the Chicago mob at his feet, and the perfect scheme for selling barrels and barrels of whiskey during the era of prohibition and speakeasies. With a lavish mansion on a hill and over-the-top parties, Remus was a millionaire playboy in 1922 - some even say he was the real Jay Gatsby. His legendary rise and fall are now the subject of this new musical.
Guests of REMUS can also opt to enjoy a bourbon tasting. The Carnegie will host a guided bourbon tasting at 6:30 pm to wet guests' whistles before the show.
Tickets can be purchased through The Carnegie Box Office at (859) 957-1940, Tuesday through Friday, Noon to 5pm, or online at thecarnegie.com.
