Dreaming Of A Song: The Music Of Hoagy Carmichael

“Dreaming of a Song: The Music of Hoagy Carmichael” is the first artistic collaboration between Billy Stritch and Klea Blackhurst. Together they created a critically acclaimed show that joyously mined the catalogue of one of America’s most treasured songwriters: Hoagy Carmichael, the celebrated composer, pianist, singer, actor and bandleader, wrote some of the most lasting and influential pop songs of the 20th century. Collaborating with lyricists that range from Frank Loesser, Mitchell Parish and Johnny Mercer to Ned Washington, Paul Francis Webster and Harold Adamson, his contributions to Hollywood films and the hit parade are invaluable to the Great American Songbook. Klea’s ebullient delivery complements Billy’s suave crooning on a remarkable range of Carmichael’s compositions. The show is produced & hosted by David Alpern. Don’t miss these two powerhouse performers as they reunite to bring their hit show celebrating the music of one of America’s most treasured songwriters to the Hamptons for one night only.
