Pianist and actor Hershey Felder returns with his show about George Gershwin to the Boston stage. I saw it, and was enthralled, ten (or so) years ago when he first performed it in the Boston area, at the American Repertory Theatre. Since then, he has taken it on the road, and has done it 3500 (or so) times – a long road.
