The Other Palace

Price from £ 651

From the creator and director of The Pianist of Willesden Lane, award-winning actor and musician Hershey Felder brings to life on stage the music and personal stories of Irving Berlin and Leonard Bernstein in two musical-plays, which will alternate this autumn. Hershey Felder embodies the role of Irving Berlin, performing some of the great composer’s most enduring songs and shares the backgrounds behind their creation including Alexander’s Ragtime Band, There’s No Business Like Show Business, Always, Blue Skies, White Christmas, Puttin On The Ritz and God Bless America. Irving Berlin’s story begins as a child refugee from Czarist Russia, then rising as a songwriter in New York’s Tin Pan Alley and beyond to become one of the most celebrated composers of Broadway musicals, top charting hits and scores for Hollywood movies, earning him eight Academy Award nominations and with George Gershwin calling him "the greatest songwriter that has ever lived".
