After the resounding success of their 1931 hit, Of Thee I Sing (performed by MasterVoices in 2017), the Gershwins re-teamed with librettists George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind for this madcap and blisteringly dark sequel.
Let ‘Em Eat Cake picks up with the same motley crew, four years later – President Wintergreen has lost re-election, fires the Supreme Court, stages a military coup, and paints the White House blue. But never mind all that – Cake is a sparkling gem filled with wonderful Gershwin tunes, and it hasn’t been heard in NYC since 1987!
Tony Award-nominee Bryce Pinkham returns as our President Wintergreen.
With ORCHESTRA OF ST. LUKE’S
