Musik og sangtekster af Ira Gershwin & George Gershwin
Dialog af Ken Ludwig & Mike Ockrent
Den nyeste af Gershwin-brødrenes mange musicals er en klassisk amerikansk musical med de to hovedingredienser: Kærlighed og Musik.
En ung mand – søn af en rig bankier – bliver sendt til et musical-teater for at lukke det, men bliver så håbløst forelsket i teaterdirektørens datter, at han beslutte sig for at redde teatret – Hvordan? Ved at sætte et show op – selvfølgelig! Dette er rammen om et fornemt udvalg af Gershwin-brødrenes melodier. Musicalen indeholder 21 af de mest kendte Gershwin-kompositioner, som bliver serveret i et medrivende tempo.
SANGE:
K-razy for you,
I can’t be botherd now,
Bidin’ my time,
Things are looking up,
Could you use me,
Shall we dance,
I’ll build a stairway to paradise,
Bronco busters,
Someone to watch over me,
That bass,
Embraceable you,
Tonight’s the night,
I gor rhytm,
The real american folk song,
What causes that,
Naughty baby,
Stiff upper lipp,
Thay can’t take that away from me,
But not for me,
Nice work if you can get it.
