Porgy and Bess
The National Tour
75th Anniversary Production
Porgy & Bess will celebrate the production’s 75th Anniversary in 2010 and Living Arts’ brilliant updated production features a cast of 30 and a live orchestra that will prove to enthrall. Porgy & Bess melds classical music, popular song, jazz, blues and spirituals in this quintessentially American masterpiece that tells the poignant story of a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves, and the community that sustains them both. Set in South Carolina in 1912 you will hear the classic Gershwin arias: “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “Summertime.”
