Klea Blackhurst and Billy Stritch star in Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea with Dreaming of a Song: The Music of Hoagy Carmichael, this Saturday, July 18 at 7:30 PM.
Playing at East Hampton’s LTV Studios, the show honors the composer, pianist, singer, actor and bandleader, wrote some of the most lasting and influential pop songs of the twentieth century. Collaborating with lyricists Frank Loesser, Mitchell Parish, Johnny Mercer, Ned Washington, Paul Francis Webster and Harold Adamson, his contributions to Hollywood films and the hit parade are invaluable to the Great American Songbook.
Selections range from standards such as “Star Dust,” “Heart and Soul” and “Skylark,” to lesser-known songs such as “Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief” (first performed by Betty Hutton in the 1945 film The Stork Club) and “My Resistance Is Low” (a hit in London from the film Las Vegas Story, but relatively obscure in the States) to the virtually unknown “Walk It Off.”
Tickets: General Admission: $80; VIP Reserved Cocktail Table Seating: $120; SPONSOR – VIP Guaranteed Front Row: $240 Tickets are available here.
LTV STUDIOS is located at 75 Industrial Road, Wainscott, NY
