GLPA Presents
From Broadway to China
2009-2010 Season Performances
Irving Berlin's I LOVE A PIANO
Thursday, September 17, 2009, 7:30 PM
I LOVE A PIANO is a nostalgic musical journey spanning seven decades of American history as seen through the eyes of Irving Berlin. Using 64 of Berlin’s enduring and popular favorites, the national tour of this spectacular new show captures the spirit of America from the Ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century through the swinging sophistication of the 1920s and 30s. From the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the innocent optimism of the 1950s, timeless classics such as, “White Christmas,” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” do more than define the music of a generation; they define the music of our country.
