My Brother George (New York Premiere)
My Brother George: Featuring the Life and Music of George Gershwin
By Elliot Sneider
In this new one-man show, pianist Elliot Sneider plays Ira Gershwin, who shared the highs and lows of George Gershwin's life as his main lyricist, the man always by his side. Told through narrative and music, including a performance of the iconic piece "Rhapsody in Blue," My Brother George tells the story of George Gershwin's life through the changing landscape of America in the early twentieth century, and portrays the personal growth of Gershwin from his first hit "Swanee" through his tragic death at the age of 38. Other songs include "Lady Be Good," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," and selections from Porgy and Bess
