George S. Irving
with special guest Dina Merrill
November 3

An evening with George S. Irving promises a treasure trove of theatre songs, pretty ballads and reminiscences, discreet and otherwise.  His Broadway credits are too numerous to list here, but they range from the original opening of "Oklahoma!" through to "Me and My Girl".  When pressed for particulars he finds he must resort to "Google" like everyone else.  At the moment he can be seen at the York Theatre reprising his original role in "Enter Laughing: the Musical".  He vaguely remembers some Lieder recitals and a few seasons at the New York City Opera.
