|
This all-singing, all-dancing musical spectacular portrays the rags to riches legend of George M. Cohan, his life, career as a director, performer, writer and composer, loves and songs.
The title character is George M. Cohan (1878-1942), a legend in his own time -- but not ours. He was a singer / dancer / actor / playwright / songwriter / director / producer / theater owner who liked to think of himself as "the man who owns Broadway." Audition Preparation Suggestions for George M!
The show requires tap dance experience for the ensemble.
