THE GERSHWINS' PORGY AND BESS Comes to the Ahmanson, 4/22-6/1

By:

THE GERSHWINS' PORGY AND BESS, by George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, and Ira Gershwin, comes to the Ahmanson Theatre, April 22 - June 1, 2014.

Get swept away by the lush Gershwin score of this great American Tony Award-winning musical.

The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess is set in Charleston's fabled Catfish Row, where the beautiful Bess struggles to break free from her scandalous past, and the only one who can rescue her is the courageous Porgy. Threatened by her formidable former lover, and the seductive enticements of the colorful troublemaker, Porgy and Bess' relationship evolves into a deep romance that triumphs as one of theater's most exhilarating love stories.

Accompanied by a lush 23-piece orchestra, this re-envisioned Broadway production includes such legendary songs as "Summertime," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "I Got Plenty of Nothing."
