Van Wezel's I LOVE A PIANO Opens 11/30
Irving Berlin's I Love a Piano, at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Monday, Nov. 30 at 8 p.m., looks at America through the perceptive and hopeful eyes of one of America's greatest composers. Tickets are $40-$55 (a limited number of "Smart Seats" are available for $10).
Conceived by Ray Roderick and Michael Berkeley, the all singing, all dancing review weaves together vignettes of the great events of the American century from the World War I era through the Roaring '20s, to the Depression and World War II, and finally to the end of the 1950s. The production features over 60 songs, a cast of six and an eight-piece Dixieland Band.
The Los Angeles Times called I Love a Piano "as invigorating a song-catalog revue as any since Ain't Misbehavin." Backstage.com lauded the production for "parlaying the glorious Berlin canon into a tuneful and exhilarating show."
The show is sponsored by Wilde Lexus of Sarasota and Piano Distributors.
