"Strike Up the Band"
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 7 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
MasterVoices by Toby Tenenbaum
MasterVoices polishes another classic gem with Strike Up the Band, the little-known precursor to the Gershwins' Of Thee I Sing. This madcap 1920's satire on America's penchant for war features spies and star-crossed lovers. The lush Gershwin score, with songs such as “The Man I Love” and “I've Got a Crush On You,” is brought to life by the full 100-voice MasterVoices Chorus and a cast under the direction of Tony Award winner Ted Sperling.

Credits: Alison Solomon, choreographer; Tracy Christensen and Somie Pak, costume designers; Shelby Loera, lighting designer; Marc Salzberg, sound designer.
