SAMUEL JOSEPH PRESENTS MARK NADLER- New York Cabaret Star singer/pianist in 'His Lovely Wife, Ira - Ira Gershwin With and Without George'- A brand new show direct from Manhattan
The biggest Broadway event of 1937 was undoubtedly the gala opening night of I'd Rather Be Right. Not only did the new musical boast a score by Richard Rodger and Lorenz Hart and a book by George S. Kaufman (who also directed) and Moss Hart (the pair had just won that year's Pulitzer for You Can't Take It With You), but the star was no less than the grand old man of Broadway - who many will argue invented the book song and dance musical comedy as we know it today - George M. Cohan, playing the role of then-President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Never before and never since has a sitting U.S. president been the leading character in a Broadway musical.

FHCT Youth Theater is proud to announce the opening production of their 2010-2011 Season, '45 Minutes From Broadway.' '45 Minutes from Broadway,' as adapted by June Walker Rogers, features the irresistible excitement of George M. Cohan's music. 'Let's do a musical!' is the cry from the members of the school's drama club. The problem is which one? This dilemma is solved by the appearance of an old theatrical trunk filled with the memorabilia of early show-business days. These include some George M. Cohan props, his derby straw hat and cane and a script of 45 Minutes from Broadway. Miss Templeton, the teacher, and Jason, the student director, guide the cast through the auditions, casting and presentation of the old Cohan musical. This is an example of a show within a show, complete with such rousing George M. Cohan numbers as 'I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy,' 'Give My Regards to Broadway,' and 'You're a Grand Old Flag.'
Performer, choreographer and tap teacher Justin Boccitto will be performing in Chip Deffaa's award-winning Off-Broadway show, 'George M. Cohan Tonight!' at the Wayne, NJ YM-YWHA Theater, 7 p.m., Thursday, August 26th in a special free presentation to cap the Y's summer concert series.
