George M. Cohan

Show Description:

What was America feeling at the dawn of the 20th century? Protean songwriter-performer-director-producer George M. Cohan had his finger on the pulse of this so-called American Century. Immortalized on film by James Cagney, the legendary Cohan emblazoned his signature with hundreds of songs including “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” “Over There” and “Yankee Doodle Boy.” His story cracks open a crucial time capsule.

This production features Cohan's music performed in its original orchestrations for the first time in over a century by soloists, chorus, 15-piece orchestra and multimedia. Co-Hosted by American Musical Productions' Artistic Director Joseph Rubin and The Musical Theater Project's Artistic Director Bill Rudman.
