Description
This world premiere musical, with its totally original concept, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the jazz artist -- those men and women who make music because they have to, because there is no other way for them to express their deepest and most sensitive emotions.
From the swankiest supper clubs to the seediest joints, from the back rooms to the concert hall, jazz has its own environment, its own language, its own unique cast of characters and stories.
Featuring a big band, world class singers, and a company of performers who can sing, dance and play it all, Like Jazz celebrates jazz, the quintessential American art form, and those gifted artists whose lives often seem to be as improvised an unpredictable as their music.
Created by some of the country's leading musical artists: three-time Tony Award, three-time Emmy Award and two-time Grammy Award-winning composer Cy Coleman (City of Angels, The Will Rogers Follies, Sweet Charity and On the Twentieth Century), three-time Academy Award and multiple Grammy Award-winning lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman ("The Windmills of Your Mind," "The Way We Were" and the score for Yentl); and two-time Tony Award-winning playwright (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to The Forum and City of Angels), screenwriter (Tootsie and O, God!), and principal writer (TV's M*A*S*H) Larry Gelbart.
