Leslie Odom Jr. returns to Broadway for the first time since his Tony Award-winning performance in Hamilton! Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch is the rousing, laugh-filled comedy by Kennedy Center honoree Ossie Davis that tells the story of a Black preacher’s machinations to reclaim his inheritance and win back his church, despite the community's difficult relationships with neighboring whites. Directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun, Fences, Topdog/Underdog), this inspiring and delightful comedic masterpiece became the source material for the beloved hit musical, Purlie.

Hershey Felder as George Gershwin Alone
Monday, December 4, 7:30 pm ET

The Town Hall
123 West 43rd Street
New York, NY

Twenty-two years ago, George Gershwin Alone premiered at the Helen Hayes Theatre in New York. For one night only and with 100% of all proceeds being donated to the Entertainment Community Fund, Hershey Felder returns to the show that started it all to bid farewell to this beloved character and his music that has been shared for over 3,000 performances in more than 100 venues worldwide.

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.” Featuring a full performance of the Rhapsody as well as some of the composer's most beloved songs from "Summertime," to "The Man I Love," "'S Wonderful," "Someone To Watch Over Me," "Embraceable You" and "Swanee," this promises to be an evening to remember. As is tradition, during the encore, the audience gets to join in re-creating an old-fashioned Gershwin soiree.
