George M! tells the life story of George M. Cohan, a giant of the American musical theatre who gave us such songs as “Yankee Doodle Dandy”, “Over There”, “You’re A Grand Old Flag”, and “Give My Regards to Broadway”, and who transformed the Broadway variety show into a book-driven musical, where song and dance actually advance the plot. We follow him over a 60-year period from the vaudeville circuit, to New York, where he starts his 25-year absolute reign of the Broadway stage. Joseph Favalora* (Crazy for You) returns to the Playhouse stage in the title role.
