Gershwin sings Gershwin to have E. Coast Premeire July 27

Alexis Gershwin has been singing the timeless classics of her uncles since she can remember, and while her shows have always incorporated her family's musical legacy, her newest creation, "Gershwin Sings Gershwin," is a tribute of the most familial kind.  "Gershwin Sings Gershwin" starring Alexis Gershwin is a personal tribute to her uncles George and Ira Gershwin and celebrates their lives and their music. 

The show features the Gershwin Singers and Orchestra and will premiere on the East Coast at Stoneham Theatre July 27-30. 

Ms. Gershwin has teamed with acclaimed musical director, Steven Applegate, producer/musical director for Shirley Jones/>, Lorna Luft/>, Maureen McGovern/> and many others.  The show includes all new arrangements of more than twenty Gershwin favorites.  Songs like "A Foggy Day," "Isn't it a Pity," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "Embraceable You," "I Can't Get Started," and "Our Love is Here to Stay" will have Ms. Gershwin's own touch.

The Gershwin Singers and a six-piece orchestra accompany her.  "This is the culmination of my work as a vocalist.  To perform an entire show dedicated to my uncles is something I've always dreamed of " says Ms. Gershwin.
