The George M. Cohan Revue

Highlights

Expandable Casting Bare Stage/Simple Set

Synopsis

Considered the foremost living authority on Cohan, Chip Deffaa has culled from a lifetime of Cohan hits and lesser-known gems and miraculously crams them into this little production.

Conceived, written and directed by Deffaa, the show boasts 60 Cohan songs in about two hours, which it delivers at madcap speed.

This narrative is told largely through song and dance, interspersed with some fascinating facts about his family, upbringing and career provided by a Narrator who also sings occasionally.

This is the perfect vehicle for a small and talented cast of eight to ten, so summer theatres and community groups take note – nostalgic but fresh, The George M. Cohan Revue might be the perfect revue for your next season.
