Say Goodnight Gracie is the hit Broadway play that invites you to spend a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the uplifting company of the world's favorite and funniest centenarian.  George Burns, who spanned 100 years of American entertainment history, is now miraculously alive and kicking in a stunning tour de force.  Say Goodnight Gracie was Broadway's third longest-running solo performance show and was nominated for a 2003 Tony Award for BEST PLAY.  The play also won the 2003-04 National Broadway Theatre Award for BEST PLAY.

Say Goodnight Gracie is a multimedia presentation that also features the skillful vocal talents of actress Didi Conn ("Frenchie" from GREASE) as well as evocative music and moving images from George's long life and good times.  The play has been created with the approval and cooperation of the Estate of George Burns and Gracie Allen.  Its author is multiple Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes, whose Broadway credits include the Tony Award-winning musical The Mystery Of Edwin Drood and who is also creator and writer of the nostalgic Emmy Award-winning comedy series Remember WENN.
