West End, Los Angeles, Chicago,

“Someone to Watch Over Me,”

complete performance of Rhapsody
In Blue. As the only actor-musician
to create the role of George
Gershwin on the stage, and with
over three-thousand performances,

time, Hershey Felder will bring
George Gershwin to life on the
stage of one of Europe’s oldest
and most famous theatres, Florence’s
Teatro Della Pergola.
