God Bless Irving Berlin
Wonderful, warm, intimate show. The music, narrative, design, all combine to present a terrific over-view of Berlin's life and music. Hershey Felder is a man of many,
excellent talents. The Royal George is a small, inviting, almost cozy space. However, avoid sitting in the front row of the balcony; you will need a booster seat to see the
stage. A caveat: sometimes the sound projection did not reach to the balcony very well. Irving Berlin ranks at or near the top in The Great American Songbook.
