The great love story of Irving Berlin, America’s favorite songwriter, and Ellin Mackay, Irish-American heiress, is not well known, but Mark Nadler and KT Sullivan bring their romance to life in Always: The Love Story of Irving Berlin at Florence Gould Hall at 9 PM on Saturday, January 11.
The show covers the 102 years of Irving Berlin’s life, starting as an immigrant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to being America’s most successful composer, from Tin Pan Alley to the Top 40 and Broadway.The pair offer songs such as “Cheek to Cheek,” “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” “I Got Lost in His Arms” and, of course, “Always.” Berlin’s sacrifices during World War I are made vivid with such classics as “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning” and “God Bless America.”
Tickets are $20; purchase here.
Florence Gould Hall is located at 55 E. 59th St., NYC
