HERSHEY FELDER AS IRVING BERLIN

Presented by Arizona Theatre Company

Lyrics & Music by
IRVING BERLIN
Book by HERSHEY FELDER

From the depths of Czarist Russia, to New York’s Lower East Side, and ultimately all of America and the world, Irving Berlin’s story epitomizes the American dream. Hershey Felder, a bravura performer, compelling storyteller, and superb concert pianist, who thrilled us with George Gershwin Alone, returns to ATC in another tour-de-force. This time, Felder brings to vibrant life the remarkable story of “America’s Composer.” Featuring Irving Berlin’s most popular and enduring songs – from “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” to “God Bless America” to “White Christmas” – Hershey Felder’s performance makes this evening an unforgettable journey.
