Hershey Felder as George Gershwin Alone played over 3,000 performances seen by over two million people from Los Angeles to Broadway to the U.K., celebrated in both the public and by critics, and for several years was the highest grossing Gershwin entity. Similarly to Felder’s previous live-streamed events, proceeds will benefit theatres and arts organizations throughout North America and Europe at this critical time in history, in addition to a generous donation to The Florentine.
The Sala Grande of Teatro della Pergola in Florence, the first horseshoe-shaped theatre in the world.
Directed by Stefano de Carli and Felder, Hershey Felder as George Gershwin Alone tells the story of America’s great composer, who with the groundbreaking “A Rhapsody in Blue”, made a “Lady out of Jazz”.
