Of Thee I Sing, the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize when debuted in 1931, is a comic classic with satire relevant to current headlines. With a tuneful and witty score by George and Ira Gershwin and a libretto by Kaufman and Ryskind, written during the time of their famed association with the Marx Brothers, this production features Tony-nominated luminaries Bryce Pinkham (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Denée Benton (The Great Comet), Kevin Chamberlin (The Addams Family), and Elizabeth Stanley (On the Town) in a tale of truth, justice, and corn muffins.
